Just so I understand this - you're saying that by running *just* the 
'gcc' command on different linux systems, that actually implies that gcc 
gets invoked with some set of flags already set? And, that there's no 
way to just invoke "vanilla" gcc ?

If so, that's, ah, mindboggling (not in a good way)...
