Better compiler vendor detection
devinamatthews opened this issue · comments
The autoconf macro ax_compiler_vendor provides an arguably better way to determine the compiler vendor, since it doesn't depend on the vagaries of compiler version strings (although it does require running the compiler). A similar technique could be implemented in configure even though it's not autoconf-based.
