Yeah; but why not just a bunch of commands, some of which are expected
to work on any particular machine, and save the whole output as a single
string?  It's not very clean, but should get the important details.  To
support a "new machine," just add more commands to the script.

A simple version of this, based on your Mark 0, could be:

uname -a
$CC --version
$CC -V
$CC -v
ls -l /lib/libc.so*

No need to comment/uncomment anything.
