[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] configure: pick the right compiler for OpenBSD by default

[Daniel P. Berrange]

The system compiler in OpenBSD is gcc 4.2.1 which is too
old for our needs. If doing 'pkg_add gcc' you can get a
much newer version (4.9.4 in OpenBSD 6.1) which works with
QEMU. This installs binaries with two naming schemes:

  $ pkg_info  -L gcc | grep bin
  /usr/local/bin/ecpp
  /usr/local/bin/egcc
  /usr/local/bin/egcc-ar
  /usr/local/bin/egcc-nm
  /usr/local/bin/egcc-ranlib
  /usr/local/bin/egcov
  /usr/local/bin/x86_64-unknown-openbsd6.0-egcc
  /usr/local/bin/x86_64-unknown-openbsd6.0-egcc-ar
  /usr/local/bin/x86_64-unknown-openbsd6.0-egcc-nm
  /usr/local/bin/x86_64-unknown-openbsd6.0-egcc-ranlib
  /usr/local/bin/x86_64-unknown-openbsd6.0-gcc-4.9.3

We pick the short name this it won't change across OpenBSD
releases.

This means users don't need to manually pass custom --cc
and --cxx args to configure to avoid immediate failure.
