AC_PROG_CC with absolute path

Hello,

  I'm trying to provide a compiler to this macro (using it's name and
the full path name) when some special conditions occur but as it isn't
on the default $PATH, AC_PROG_CC skips it.

  Right now, I can only find two solutions. Just add the the directory
that contains this compiler to the $PATH or set CC (in the configure.ac)
with this compiler when those conditions happen.
  First approach isn't quite user-friendly because each time I want to
run configure I have to touch the PATH variable. The latter would skip a
new compiler given by the user through CC environment variable when
invoking configure.

  Of course, CC could be set when calling configure, but it's not as
automatic as I wanted.

  So, is there any way to provide a full path of a C compiler in the
AC_PROG_CC macro? Is there any other alternative that I should have in mind?

Thank you,
