./configure --prefix=/opt/mozilla-1.1a creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.6 checking target system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.6 checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.6 checking for gcc... gcc= checking whether the C compiler (gcc= ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
It's a bug in the bash. I use tcsh, have set CC to be gcc, when bash duplicates this environment its appending '='char to the variables. bash is used as a replacement to the sh here on solaris, because most people are not capable of writing sh-conformous configure scripts :-(
