What is "potentially"?  I've found no direct means to control the
SDK path at all, but so far it appears that "xcrun --show-sdk-path"
agrees with the compiler's default -isysroot path as seen in the
compiler's -v output.  I suspect that this isn't coincidental,
but reflects xcrun actually being used in the compiler launch
process.  If it were to flip over to using a IOS SDK, that would
mean that bare "cc" would generate nonfunctional executables,
which just about any onlooker would agree is broken.

I'm really not excited about trying to make the build work with
a non-native SDK as you are proposing.  I think that's just going
to lead to a continuing stream of problems, because of Apple's
opinions about how cross-version compatibility should work.
It also seems like unnecessary complexity, because there is always
(AFAICS) a native SDK version available.  We just need to find it.
