Hello. It is possible to use custom compiler but not with usual exporting
of CC, CXX and FC. Personally I set compiler names by hand in
amber20_src/cmake/AmberCompilerConfig.cmake at lines 122-124 to "gcc-8",
"g++-8" and "gfortran-8", correspondingly (I'm on Arch Linux and we have
gcc 10 as default compiler but still have gcc 8 installed in parallel for
cuda applications). try this scheme

73, Viktor
