make make_names.pl default to default system compiler

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Koop Mast]

As I understand it cc and c++ are the default C and C++ system compilers. So as the final fall though the script should use them instead of hoping gcc might be installed.

This was found because on FreeBSD 10 we don't have gcc anymore in base on the x86* archs.

Please revert this change to root ChangeLog, updating Source/WebCore/ChangeLog is sufficient.

Is there a general rule for when to update the root Changelog or not?

yes, when Tools/Scripts/prepare-ChangeLog automatically does it ;)
