Not such a good idea; we've been suggesting people as workaround to add
a symlinked name, to fool libtool (e.g., gcc -> mpiCC or so).  Checking
the link target would defeat that.

If checking the name is not good enough, then verbose/help output should
be used for determining.  It is already in some cases.
