You shouldn't need to manually modify the Makefile at all,
if you run the configure script like this:

CC="somethingspecial -g one gcc" ./configure <your-config-options>

You might want to check out the way "ccache" handles this -
it is another program that runs in place of the compiler
and "does something cool" when it invokes gcc:
