I'm totally lost on the context here (what exactly are you trying to
accomplish?) since I wasn't privy to the origins of the thread.
However, I don't like adding a new magic symbol, either, if possible. I
would prefer something like:
CC := $(dynload $(shell gcc -print-dynamic-driver))
or whatever.
Of course, I'm talking pure syntax here, since I have no real idea what
this is supposed to do. Is the idea that the compiler is a
dynamically-loaded module and make would invoke the compiler as a shared
library, instead of fork/exec?
Funky.
