This patch adds a feature to switch-arch so it tells you the names of the compilers is it looking for. I had just installed a cross compiler and was confused as to why switch-arch wouldn't detect it. This feature helped me figure out that the problem was with the name of the compiler I was using.

For me, this would make the output of switch-arch unnecessarily verbose. Most of the effort goes into building a cross-compile setup, so once the compiler is configured this output effectively becomes noise.
I would consider a patch for an optional "-v" (verbose) argument to switch-arch to aid people setting up their environment though.
