Details:

Right now, the pipeline does not check the existence of very low level
programs necessaries from the beginning. As a consequence, if these programs
do not exist, it will crash. It would be good to have checks and warnings if
there is any problem so the pipeline won't crash.

For example, for those systems which need a host `gcc' (Mac OS systems), check
if it already exists. And if not, print a warning suggesting to install them.
Following this particular example about `gcc' and Mac OS systems, lets notice
that it could be done using Homebrew.
