not knowing _exactly_ how --fix works, but asuming it does something
like check if the files from the install-log are existing, then wouldn't
it be better to just make the spell tamper with the install-log, remove
the desired line, so it won't corrupt during fix?

having to recompile gcc is arguably better than corrupting spells, but
imho still a Bad Thing (TM).
