With things that have complex build environments, and build tools, the
"nice" thing for the maintainer to do, is to hand-patch the compiling
wrapper to be "polymorphic".
To change the arguments based on the value of $CC

At various times, this was done for both libtool, and perl's
Config.pm(or whatever it is).
Dont know if this is still done. I hope it is.
