Comment (by Roland Haas):
Without it, if there is an error during configuration the output is (literally): {{{ installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables (see configs/<configname>/config-data/config.log for details). }}} ie {{{<configname>}}} is shown as such. This is unnecessary annoying since to then actually look at the file one has to copy&paste the path then edit it by hand to replace {{{<configname>}}} with the actual configuration name.
This is made (much) worse by simfactory have a default simulation name "sim" so that people who run "simfactory/bin/sim build" for the first time and receive this error do not even (always) know what the configuration name is to begin with.
