What does this PR do?

Creates gcc/g++ symlinks pointing to gcc-8 in $BUILD_DIR/bin and prepends that directory to PATH, then sets CC=gcc and CXX=g++ instead of the full versioned path.

Motivation

Python records the CC used at build time verbatim in _sysconfigdata_. Previously this was /opt/freeware/bin/gcc-8, so pip install ibm_db (or any C extension) on a customer host would fail if gcc-8 was not installed, even though gcc-10 or gcc-13 would work fine for that purpose.

With CC=gcc, the sysconfigdata records the generic name. Any GCC version in the customer's PATH satisfies it. The actual build still uses GCC 8 (via the symlink) for AIX 7.2 TL2 compatibility.

Describe how you validated your changes

Build and validated pip install command on AIX.

…any GCC

On the build host /opt/freeware/bin/gcc already points to gcc-13, so we
create private gcc/g++ symlinks in $BUILD_DIR/bin pointing to gcc-8 and
prepend that directory to PATH before setting CC=gcc and CXX=g++.

Previously CC was set to the full path /opt/freeware/bin/gcc-8, which
Python records verbatim in _sysconfigdata_. When customers run pip install
for C extensions (e.g. ibm_db), setuptools reads CC from sysconfig and
tries to invoke gcc-8 by name — failing on systems where only gcc-10 or
gcc-13 is installed, even though those versions produce ABI-compatible code.

With CC=gcc (no path, no version suffix), the recorded compiler is the
generic name that any GCC version satisfies, giving customers a seamless
pip install experience regardless of which GCC they have installed.

The build itself is unchanged: both symlinks resolve to gcc-8, so all
binaries continue to be compiled with GCC 8 for AIX 7.2 TL2 compatibility.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
