Changing the default does improve the speed of configure because
configure no longer needs to execute GCC to figure out where the build

I would argue that the difference you are talking about is less than 5 seconds.
Which in a build like FFmpeg or similar, is statistically 0.
So perhaps you have some data to show a non-trivial amount of time saved that
would make this worth it?
