Initial Comment:
* Completion for the various GCC compilers occurs on any system, but
  only with a uname of GNU, Linux, or Cygwin will bash-completion add
  those same completions to the "cc" command.  bash-completion
  probably assumes that other systems will not have gcc installed as
  "cc".

This is probably better, as this way we can ensure, that cc really points to the gcc. This is not likely to slow load time down.

Message:
The test whether to complete cc is now userland = GNU or uname = cygwin.  Do we want to add something to the list?

We could do something like:

cc --version 2>/dev/null | grep -q GCC && complete -F _gcc cc

...but dunno if something like that is appropriate considering the test happens at completion load time (and would currently add some to the slowness of it).
