USE_GCC was introduces because: It requires a gcc compiler to compile.

Why? I can't tell, I'm sorry - I just was not able to fix the clang  
compilation
problems otherwise.

This is what the header of bsd.gcc.mk suggests. If "any" is prefered over
"yes", it should be stated somewhere in the top of bsd.gcc.mk - maybe in
the Examples section which is where I always look first.
