Various ports were setting CC to the following, which was causing the
bsd.compiler.mk to barf:
	clang32
	clang33
	/usr/bin/gcc
	mingw32-gcc
	gcc

The patch below allowed me to successfully run "make index" and reduced
the error spewage.  It also greatly reduces the need to run
	${CC} --version
in order to set COMPILER_TYPE.

It still seems like a great waste to run
	${CC} --version
for each port to set COMPILER_VERSION since only a handful of ports need
this information.

Then there is this sort of circular dependency in some ports, like this
one in textproc/ibus/Makefile:

.if ${COMPILER_TYPE} == gcc && ${COMPILER_VERSION} < 46
USE_GCC=        yes
.endif

This will cause CC to be redefined, but COMPILER_TYPE and
COMPILER_VERSION will still retain their old values.
