check out this project:
        http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/
it includes a lot of macros like doing compiler/linker checks

if you want to be lazy, there is a $GCC var that autoconf sets up so it's not 
uncommon for packages to do:
        AS_IF([test "$GCC" = "yes"], [dnl
                ...
        ])
