 -- Macro: AC_PROG_CXX ([COMPILER-SEARCH-LIST])
     Determine a C++ compiler to use.

     If either the environment variable ‘CXX’ or the environment
     variable ‘CCC’ is set, its value will be taken as the name of a C++
     compiler.  If both are set, ‘CXX’ is preferred.  If neither are
     set, search for a C++ compiler under a series of likely names,
     trying ‘g++’ and ‘c++’ first.


There are multiple FTBFS because
  AC_PROG_CXX([mpiCC mpixlcxx mpixlcxx_r mpicxx CC])
now uses g++ instead of mpiCC.

  AC_PROG_CC(clang gcc)
with a clang build dependency now silently uses gcc instead
of clang.

This is the kind of behaviour change that is fine in a new compat,
but IMHO not an appropriate change for older compat levels.
