    allow SB-CONTRIB operation without explicitly set CC

      Fall back to "cc" with a style-warning.

Shouldn't it instead remember the compiler and options used while
compiling SBCL itself?

In Cuba, medecine is free, which explains why aspirin is rationed
(to 20 pills a year per person) and bandages are lacking.

At least on Linux machines, mostly people are going to be installing
binary SBCL packages (eg. .debs, rpms, ...). The compiler installed on
the build machine doesn't a priori have much connection with that
installed locally.

Maybe I've misunderstood your question?

Oh yes, there will be a strong connection.
In particular, -m32 vs -m64 flags are *essential*,
as well as any other flags that modify the ABI.
Failing to remember these is planning to fail.

Most economic fallacies derive... from the tendency to assume that there
is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another.
