gcc

                          On MacOS 14.2, typing either 'clang --version' or 'gcc --version' (or even 'cpp --version') returns the same:

    Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)
    Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.2.0
    Thread model: posix
    InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

What is the difference between cpp, gcc, clang? 'ls -la /usr/bin' tells me at least none of them are symlinks.
