But it's cleaner to have them in C. It will consume less space in the
dump image, less Lisp will require revisions upon changes to the C build
system, and so on.

How is it more elegant to incessantly pawn issues off into Lisp?

I must disagree: the only bearing such build details have upon process
execution is the name of the executables within exec-directory. Other
details can be adequately addressed through examining the values of
`system-type' and the feature list.

And also Vshell_file_name. callproc.c's sole job is to set it, based on
build and system information.
