        // lines that we print are re-runnable by the user.

        // On the other hand, passing the effective path (which would normally
        // be absolute) to recursive instances of the build system (e.g., when
        // running tests) will inhibit the ad hoc search which may supply
        // other parts of the "environment" necessary to use the compiler. The
        // good example of this is MSVC cl.exe which doesn't have any default
        // header/library search paths (and which are normally supplied by the
        // INCLUDE/LIB environment variables or explicitly via the command
        // line).

        // example, is the case for Clang targeting MSVC) and use the initial
        // path otherwise, thus triggering the same ad hoc search in any
