Yeah, they're generated by autoconf, from a pretty readable configure.in file.
Just to be clear, I am not advocating autoconf+automake. I don't think we need that.
Ack.

I've seen this too, where I had a compiler installed but forgot to set CC or link it to gcc or some such thing. Wouldn't the more correct workaround be to do a compiler check?
Yes, that's what I'm thinking too. I am pieceing something together with parts of coresystems' xcompile script. :)
Uh, I'd say this is overkill. Personally I prefer keeping the check in the Makefile (if at all). An extra script might make sense if there are _lots_ of _verbose_ and complicated tests, but we're far away from that.
Adding yet another file just doesn't make much sense and is not really useful either, IMO.
