+# We're almost certainly being configured before anything else which uses
+# C++, so all of our AC_PROG_* discoveries will be cached. It's vital that
+# we not cache the value of CXX that we "discover" here, because it's set
+# to something unique for us and libjava. Other target libraries need to
+# find CXX for themselves. We yank the rug out from under the normal AC_*
+# process by sneakily renaming the cache variable. This also lets us debug
+# the value of "our" CXX in postmortems.
+#
+# We must also force CXX to /not/ be a precious variable, otherwise the
+# wrong (non-multilib-adjusted) value will be used in multilibs. This
+# little trick also affects CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS. And as a side
+# effect, CXXFLAGS is no longer automagically subst'd, so we have to do
+# that ourselves. Un-preciousing AC_PROG_CC also affects CC and CFLAGS.
+#
+# -fno-builtin must be present here so that a non-conflicting form of
+# std::exit can be guessed by AC_PROG_CXX, and used in later tests.
