gcc(1) wouldn't understand the `-std' option: only the DEC C compiler
would.  The configure script in the released package will add that
option to CFLAGS if and only if the C compiler is `cc' (it isn't) and
the CPU is a VAX (possible).  I suspect that something else is afoot,
e.g. the variable CFLAGS is defined in the environment or in in the
CUSTOMIZE file as containing `-std'.
