The heuristic for detecting a compiler is to invoke it with some sort of help
flag, where $cc contains the executable name of your compiler:
$cc -h
$cc --help
$cc /?
If there's another option to pass to your compiler that causes it to do
nothing except exit with a successful error code, we can put it in there.
(Checking $ENV{PATH} and trying to divine the proper extension is another
option, but I like that one a little less.)
