Is there a generally approved way for an XS module to test for the
existence of a C compiler before attempting to build?
I'd like to avoid test failures that result from the lack of a
compiler without risking failing to build on a system that has an
obscure compiler that the build system would find but my ad-hoc test
might miss.
I guess I could just try running whatever $Config{cc} suggests. Are
there any edge cases that that misses? Does $(CC) -o foo.o foo.c work
just about everywhere?
