Agreed -- the SCT build method is both untested with GCC and
significantly out of date esp. with regard to the multiple workspace
feature (PACKAGES_PATH, to be specific). I tried building SCT myself a
few weeks ago; it was very under-documented, and what I managed to
understand anyway indicated it had no support for PACKAGES_PATH.

Some of the edk2 platforms too are clearly never built with GCC.
