David Naylor:

On FreeBSD 11+ GCC isn't installed by default, instead relying on Clang.  However, regardless of the compiler used there is usually a way to reference the default compiler (namely, using the 'cc' command).  

The attached patch changes sysconfig_pypy.py to prefer using the generic name 'cc'  and 'c++' instead of 'gcc' and 'g++', respectively.
