Tests fail on macOS with Clang providing /usr/bin/gcc #31
Description
After updating to macOS 15, installation of ExtUtils::CppGuess 0.27 fails because of a problem in 002_icpp.t. Several tests fail, apparently all for the same reason: On this system, /usr/bin/gcc is provided by Clang, which is detected correctly by ExtUtils::CppGuess.
