Congratulations!  What was the setting for the CC environment variable?

I believe that the original statements were strictly conforming and that
it's likely that the C/SX compiler is non-conforming in this respect
if it can't handle them (see section 3.2.2.1 in ANSI X3.159-1989).
I've found nothing in the Standard that contradicts this.  If you know
of something in the Standard that does, would you please send me a
reference.

Interesting.  I'd like to investigate this.  Would you please send me
the files "configure.log" (the standard output and standard error of the
configure script) and "config.log".
