Which obviously doesn't help, because a configure script containing the expansion of AC_PROG_CC exits with status `77' if it can't find a working C compiler, so that the test script is skipped. Hmm... there is a simple way to disable this globally (e.g. config.site, environment variable, ...), forcing configure to exit with status `1' in such a situation?
