If you don't have the build configuration there's no easy way.

I have a strong suspicion none of the distributions is actually changing
it anyway --- they have the same problem that it can run in a huge
number of different environments.  So very likely it's 1000.

(I'm thinking of making it a shell variable in future --- this makes
debugging and testing easier even if most users never touch it.)
