It is because you can set CC to an arbitrary value.
I'm not sure it's worth the complexity; it's already possible to pass .o/.lo to apxs (right?) so third-party modules can deal with the compilation step of non-C code.
Well, the point is to extend apxs so it'll be able to compile and link efficiently. Kind regards.
