Choosing GCC version when building ( setup.py )

I am trying to build a python module (scikit.timeseries) using 

python setup.py build

but it's erroring out like this :

/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6 -c'
gcc-4.0: scikits/timeseries/src/cseries.c
sh: gcc-4.0: command not found

This is because I'm on OSX Lion and gcc-4.0 doesn't exit, gcc does though :

gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.1.0

but it is aliased to gcc not gcc-4.0 . How can I tell setup.py to look for gcc instead of gcc-4.0 ?

Thanks !
