selftests/x86 does this already and runs the dependency check in 
x86/Makefile.


check_cc.sh:# check_cc.sh - Helper to test userspace compilation support
Makefile:CAN_BUILD_I386 := $(shell ./check_cc.sh $(CC) 
trivial_32bit_program.c -m32)
Makefile:CAN_BUILD_X86_64 := $(shell ./check_cc.sh $(CC) 
trivial_64bit_program.c)
Makefile:CAN_BUILD_WITH_NOPIE := $(shell ./check_cc.sh $(CC) 
trivial_program.c -no-pie)

Take a look and see if you can leverage this.
