      dnl Most compilers print some kind of a version string with some command
      dnl line options (often "-V").  The version string should be checked
      dnl before doing a test compilation run with compiler-specific flags.
      dnl This is because some compilers (like the Cray compiler) only
      dnl produce a warning message for unknown flags instead of returning
      dnl an error, resulting in a false positive.  Also, compilers may do
      dnl erratic things when invoked with flags meant for a different
      dnl compiler.
