#3537: flea/muttbug tries to run C compiler with -v option to get the version
number
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  marcel  |       Owner:  mutt-dev
     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  major   |   Milestone:  1.6     
Component:  mutt    |     Version:  1.5.21  
 Keywords:          |  
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 This is in muttbug.sh.in:


 {{{
 echo
 echo "-- Build environment information"
 echo
 echo "(Note: This is the build environment installed on the system"
 echo "muttbug is run on.  Information may or may not match the
 environment"
 echo "used to build mutt.)"
 echo
 echo "- gcc version information"
 echo "@CC@"
 @CC@ -v 2>&1
 echo
 echo "- CFLAGS"
 echo @CFLAGS@
 }}}


 There are at least two issues here:

 1. The C compiler need not be installed on the host system,

 2. The particular C compiler used might not use -v to display the version
 number.


 For example Sun cc uses -V instead of -v:


 {{{
 $ cc -v
 usage: cc [ options] files.  Use 'cc -flags' for details
 $ cc -V
 cc: Sun C 5.10 SunOS_i386 Patch 142363-07 2010/12/09
 usage: cc [ options] files.  Use 'cc -flags' for details
 $
 }}}
