compiler: [gcc@4.9.3]
.. tip::
If you are building your own compiler, some users prefer to have a
Spack instance just for that. For example, create a new Spack in
``~/spack-tools`` and then run ``~/spack-tools/bin/spack install
gcc@4.9.3``. Once the compiler is built, don't build anything
more in that Spack instance; instead, create a new "real" Spack
instance, configure Spack to use the compiler you've just built,
and then build your application software in the new Spack
instance. Following this tip makes it easy to delete all your
Spack packages *except* the compiler.
