The semicolons prevented the "configure" script from seeing the variable
settings because the shell would have made them into shell variables 
rather than environment variables (due to the semicolons).  The following
would have worked:

CPPFLAGS='-Df2cFortran' CC=/usr/bin/gcc CFLAGS='-O \
-fno-builtin' PERL=/usr/bin/perl FC=g77 FFLAGS=-O \
./configure

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
