Solaris compiler setup ?

[Erik Joelsson]

Comparing your log to mine, this is what happens:

configure:10112: checking whether CC accepts -g
configure:10132: CC -c -g  conftest.cpp >&5
configure:10132: $? = 0
configure:10173: result: yes
configure:10329: checking for gcc
configure:10345: found /usr/local/bin/gcc
configure:10356: result: gcc
configure:10381: checking for Objective C compiler version
configure:10390: gcc --version >&5
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6

So for some reason, autoconf wants to find gcc too and on my system it 
happens to be there. I will look into it.
