tag inference broken?

Hi,
Okay, I must be stupid, the tag inference goes like this:
case $base_compile in

# Blanks in the command may have been stripped by the calling shell,

# but not from the CC environment variable when configure was run.

" $CC "* | "$CC "* | " `$echo $CC` "* | "`$echo $CC` "*) ;;
# Blanks at the start of $base_compile will cause this to fail

# if we don't check for them as well.

Now, $CC is allowed to be a program name with arguments (isn't it?), but
at this point $base_compile only contains the program name "gcc" in my
case, so when I set CC to (on darwin) "gcc -arch ppc -arch i386" and set
CXX to "g++ -arch ppc -arch i386" I expected (without having looked at
the code) tag inference to work. It doesn't of course.

Is the test broken? Should it be the other way around? (case $CC in
"$base_compile "*) Or am I missing something really important here?

Yes, I know I could just make a cc wrapper which adds the arguments I
want and set CC to that wrapper, but I'd prefer libtool to handle this
intelligently.
