Description
A simple check of:
solution "xyzzy"
toolset "clang"
yields "CC=clang" in the generated makefiles, however:
solution "xyzzy"
toolset "gcc"
does not set CC= in the generated makefiles
This is on OSX, if it makes any difference.

Reproduce the issue with premake5 gmake using the two solution and toolset examples on macOS, then inspect the generated makefiles and the toolset handling. Done means the gcc configuration emits the expected CC= assignment, matching the existing clang behavior.
