there should be a better way for unix systems to map the command you type at teh command line to a specific fully-qualified binary name

i think centos has this with its `scl` features

in our `Dockerfile` we run a command line that says to turn on the gcc "scl" (software collection?)

i think making it more granular is one step

the native backend using v2 to resolve binaries kinda sorta plays with this idea, if you squint

in `native_toolchain.py` mostly, where you can request a toolchain to compile and link things with some parameters
