-- 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.
