It appears that the environment variable CC was set to the string
"/usr/bin/cc=" (note the equals-sign suffix) when the configure script
was executed.  This is probably not what you want -- judging from the
file "config.log":

...

> configure:1135: /usr/bin/cc= -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
> ./configure: /usr/bin/cc=: No such file or directory

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CC is set to the pathname
        of the C compiler and doesn't have a equals-sign suffix, e.g.,

            export CC=/usr/bin/cc

        or

            setenv CC /usr/bin/cc

        depending on your user-shell.

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

Please let me know if this helps.

Steve Emmerson
