Pretty sure the April dev tools have a gcc link, if not do this:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc2 /usr/bin/gcc

If that doesn't work, very likely you don't have April dev tools.. I 
suggest going ahead and getting them... but if you're against it, just 
make a link from cc to gcc, it'll make life easier.

As far as the space escaping and stuff goes, that's not the problem.. 
that's just the way distutils prints it out, it's not exactly what you 
would type if you were to spit it into a shell (but sometimes it is).
