I find this happens a lot to me. The various GCC based tools are all
interrelated and all use the same environment keys. This means order of
loading of the tools can make a great difference to the command strings
used. I am finding this to be a real problem for the GDC tool.

I do not have access to CentOS to be able to run any experiments but if
you could find a minimal project that exhibits the problem and post it
here we can certainly investigate and see what the "CentOS Effect" is
caused by.
