Using a value that isn't available in the current base release is a bug
in the port. configure.compiler is just a convenient way to set
configure.cc, configure.cxx etc. all at once, so setting those
separately as needed is the fix.

Someone (I think it was jeremyhu?) previously asked about moving the
configure.compiler definitions to _resources so we can update them
independently of base releases, and that might not be a bad idea. We
could even just add extra ones from there, so it doesn't break anything
for people using completely custom ports trees.
