patch for forcing usage of GCC

I can't run the game "syndicate plus" (http://www.myabandonware.com/game/syndicate-plus-310) under FreeBSD dosbox port, but this same archive works under the MS Windows dosbox port.

Then I've compiled the port by forcing usage of GCC in place of clang and this change fix the problem: The game run great now.

Two things.

Firstly I would rather get this working with clang, I think this might be the last issue, and we've already spent some effort on patches for clang.

Related, if we do go with this solution, we should also remove the patches that have been previously added for clang compatibility.

Sure, it will be the best solution: Did you reach to reproduce the problem, or do you need more debug data from my side?

Feedback please!

Tested today on a FreeBSD 13.0-RC3 with the dosbox 0.74.3_1 package and it is working.
