The mail has:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=1
So there was no ".sql" extension; there was just no extension at all.

I do not understand what it should do without running inferior. Or rather

That is correct, you need to build gcc-5.0 which contains libcc1.so.
But that currently also will not work as it will get named libcc1.dll, you can
