I have no idea if there is a C90 compiler which does not support "-o
sub/foo.o". Automake mentions C compilers which don't correctly
support -c with -o "are very rare". Nevertheless, I borrowed their
macro, so we will use the compile script if this rare compiler
actually shows up.

Mark would this be OK assuming that DJ approves of the new change? It
does fix a real (though recently papered over by the Java front end)
cross-compiling bug and now it also fixes DJ's bug which, if such a
compiler exists, also currently exists in the sources. I submitted
the original version a few weeks before stage3 was announced.
