5 # SYNOPSIS
7 #   AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD
9 # DESCRIPTION
11 #   This macro searches for a C compiler that generates native executables,
12 #   that is a C compiler that surely is not a cross-compiler. This can be
13 #   useful if you have to generate source code at compile-time like for
14 #   example GCC does.
16 #   The macro sets the CC_FOR_BUILD and CPP_FOR_BUILD macros to anything
17 #   needed to compile or link (CC_FOR_BUILD) and preprocess (CPP_FOR_BUILD).
18 #   The value of these variables can be overridden by the user by specifying
19 #   a compiler with an environment variable (like you do for standard CC).
21 #   It also sets BUILD_EXEEXT and BUILD_OBJEXT to the executable and object
22 #   file extensions for the build platform, and GCC_FOR_BUILD to `yes' if
23 #   the compiler we found is GCC. All these variables but GCC_FOR_BUILD are
24 #   substituted in the Makefile.
