I thought gcc-<N> executable should be linked by `brew-install' itself, no?

This patch applied on top of the patch you replied works fine!

I'm addressing this issue with a change in ci/lib.sh below. By adding /bin/false as a fallback.

If we could agree that the previous patch and this patch, together, could be good, I'll re-organise it and send again later.

Either that, or squash this into the previous patch

Subject: [PATCH/RFC] ci: install latest gcc from brew for macOS build on travis

Until now, we ask brew install the specific version of gcc (gcc@8), but for some reason, brew decided to install the latest version instead.

With the previous change, we're assuming that gcc-<N> executable is existed in $PATH, we will find that executable instead.

While we're at it, don't ask brew to link gcc, since it should be taken by `brew-install' itself.
