Better to order this with positive tests?

  if do_compiler $target_compiler -o $TMPE $TMPC -static ; then
     ...
  elif do_compiler $target_compiler -o $TMPE $TMPC ; then
     ...
  else
     ...
  fi

Is there really a benefit to $target_compiler_static above adding -static to
$cross_compiler_flags_FOO?
