Is there any reference for this? I thought that default behaviour
should be
./configure CC=cc
where cc can be system-specific.
Autoconf manual
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#C-Compiler
says about AC_PROG_CC: "If |CC| is not already set in the environment,
check for |gcc| and |cc|, then for other C compilers". AC_PROG_CC takes
a list of compilers as first argument so if you wanna change the default
behaviour, it should be straightforward except that it's not obvious to
me how to decide which type of cat the OS is...
Cheers,
