The "machine checkable" thing is a non-argument.

There are other meaningful machine checkable alternative as well.

    % gcc -v 
    [...]
    gcc version 4.3.0 20070210 (experimental)

    % /usr/bin/gcc -v                                               ~
    [...]
    gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

    % ld --version
    GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2.2 20041220 (SuSE Linux)
