Sure seems like the C compiler has somehow been identified as 'c', and not
'cc'.

No, this is a first for me.  Can you tell me the value of the following
environment variables in place before you started the McIDAS build:

CC
CFLAGS
CPPFLAGS
FC
FFLAGS

If, you happened to change the values of one or more of these after an
abortive build attempt, you need to do a:

'make clobber'

to remove any output files that have been created.  After doing the
clobber step, you can once again run 'make mcx' (or 'make all').
