I contributed the checker for icc and icpc last April, but the general framework was put together by Valdis Kletnieks, was it not? In any case, the info docs for gcc 3.4 say that the -V flag is to run a specific version of gcc. To get the version, you're supposed to use --version. In fact, that's what configure.in *is* using for gcc. It looks like the logic starting at the line that says: AC_MSG_CHECKING(for compiler version information) must be slightly awry for Frank's case. The test: if test "$GCC" = "yes"; then must be failing for Frank, dropping him into the machine-specific code, which results in this code being executed: *-*-solaris*) compiler_version=`$XEMACS_CC -V 2>&1 | head -1` Frank, are you passing either --compiler or --xemacs-compiler to the configure script? Do you have CC set in your environment? If so, what value(s)?
