Maybe you have a better answer to this related question: is there a portable
alternative to GNU readlink’s -f option?
On a Linux box, I’d get around the problem you raise with:
$ ./configure CC=$(readlink -f ../../llvm-arm-toolchain-ship/3.8/bin/clang)
On other platforms, you can install GNU coreutils, but since there is often an
OS-provided readlink implementation, you then have to have extra code to look
for greadlink or similar and run that instead.
Is there a better way?
