That works too.

The thing is they're pretty dumb in operation - they pick up the 
compiler environment, which in the case of mysql was optimised for the 
database server. Client libraries really won't benefit from the 
optimisations.

We could store the Sun Studio optimisations, and expose them with CC is 
detected as Studio, but gcc users miss out on them. So for equality it 
seems easier just to strip them.
