Once again, you failed to provide an actual log of what you're
describing, so I'm going to go on a limb and guess at what you're
actually trying to describe. curl's build system doesn't add --tag=CC
directives to the gcc command line. It does, however, use libtool, and
libtool uses the --tag=CC directive to control its operation. libtool
operates as a wrapper around the compiler in use (whether gcc or cc or
any other), and the --tag option (as well as --mode) informs libtool of
the type of compile that's happening. You can find out more about
libtool and its role in the build by reading the extensive libtool
documentation (or http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html if
you don't already have it installed).
