Thanks. And thanks Marc for the details. Not having to set the SH*

And sorry to insist, but I still haven't found the answer to this:

The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to define portable "features",
which map to compiler-specific flags. If I were able to query the
toolchain along the "type" as discussed in the man page, that might help
