i'm not sure i like this. the build environment is expected to provide a valid compiler, and the above assumes how the compiler works. if we really want to support this without user-env setup, then i think a confiure test (from tools/compat) would be better than forcing this option here directly. (also note this is not the first time this sort of issue has arrived, and we always asked the build-env provider to fix it, but i'm not against eg, the configure test idea.) thanks. .mrg.
