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