What compiler will be used if gcc and g++ are not in the path?
Presumably, this will only work if CC and CXX are set to proper
compilers, right? Doesn't it make sense to:

  4)  check for gcc and g++ except when CC and/or CXX are set, in
which case, check for CC and CXX

??

I'm probably missing something... haven't looked at prereq in a while.

Best,
Gonzalo
