Hi,

The configure script has been broken for non-gcc compilers (at least on
Solaris) in this release.

in configure.in at line 159 there is a check which reads :-

if test "${GCC}" != "yes" ; then

I'm not sure what the part relating to HP should be changed to, but this
check is wrong when using the Sun compiler on Solaris since -Wall means
nothing to the Sun compiler.

I think the line should be

if test "${GCC}" = "yes" ; then

however, as I said above, I'm not sure what impact this would have on the
check for hpux in the next statement.
