Can't you just set the options after the AC_CHECK_PROGS call?
I don't know what would be the best way to detect the particular
compiler (name matching is pretty fragile with things like
JAVAC="ccache /opt/bin/gcj-3.4.5 -C" in case ccache supports that)
but --help output or just trying to run it with some of the flags
would seem to be the right thing to me.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
