Two parse-time probes still invoke $(CC) unconditionally:
- LP64 in tools/scripts/Makefile.arch, probing with
$(CC) -E -x c, pulled in twice by tools/perf/Makefile.perf;
- CC_NO_CLANG in tools/scripts/Makefile.include, probing with
$(CC) -dM -E -x c /dev/null.
In the corner case where gcc is not yet installed, the very setup the
install-build-deps target, added in the next patch of this series, is
meant for, these probes make even targets that never compile parse-time
spew errors like:
/bin/sh: 1: gcc: not found
/bin/sh: 1: gcc: not found
/bin/sh: 1: gcc: not found
Guard both probes with 'command -v' using the first word of CC so a
missing compiler is handled silently with the same result as a failing
probe (CC_NO_CLANG and LP64 unset/0), and with no behavior change when
the compiler is installed.
Only the first word is consulted because CC may carry arguments such as
'ccache gcc', and shell implementations differ in how 'command -v'
handles multiple words (dash only checks the first, bash any of them),
so validating the whole CC value would silently disable both probes on
some make SHELLs.
