I normally pronounce it with a long "i" sound (s-eye-gwin, as
in cyclops or cycle), although I've heard others pronounce it
with a short "i" sound (as in signal) as Cliff seems to.  He
doesn't speak for the entire country as I'm in England too!

I can't see how you could pronounce GCC other than saying the
individual letters so I'm not sure why the original poster
asks about that.

Mark.

Here in England we say:
     Jee Sea Sea
and  SIG-win

Across the pond, and in the antipodes, it could well be
different, though :-).
