I guess you can peek at AC_PROG_CC for a list, that is of course far
from complete.

Question is why would you need it and what would you do with it?
What does it help you to know about a bunch of $host-gcc-X.Y if
you are not going to compile for $host?
But yes, you should be able to walk the PATH and use some glob on each
directory to find such candidates.
HTH. Cheers,
