We face something similar for libgcj. There isn't a very good
solution. In general you can't easily find out about the compilers
that run on the build platform when you are doing a Canadian cross.
Autoconf is just weak here.
For libgcj we just punt in the Canadian case: we assume the
appropriate compiler is in your path. If not, you get an error at
"make" time. This is more or less the standard operating procedure in
this case.
