@alexcrichton and others: heres a proof of concept patch for configure that (for now is OS X only) checks at the very end of the configure script if ``cc``, ``gcc``, and ``g++`` possibly point to the same compiler or not.
The way its currently done is i call ```cc --version```, ``gcc --version`` and ``g++ --version`` and check if theres any matchings for the word ``clang``, ``gcc`` or ``g++``. So it doesn't rule out miss matched gcc versions or the like, but thats a bit more implausible I think.
