Hi There,

I'm using the CVS autoconf updated yesterday (from the right repository
this time :-)).

autoconf picks "gcc" as the compiler and "cc -E" as the preprocessor
when I do not specify CC or CPP.

This causes a problem on my machine which is:
SunOS pecos.ncsa.uiuc.edu 5.7 Generic_106541-07 sun4d sparc
SUNW,SPARCcenter-2000

because cc is the ucb compiler that returns an error message on stdout,
and nothing on stderr.  This causes AC_CHECK_HEADER to "find"
non-existent headers.

First off, shouldn't CPP use gcc as the default.  If not would it be
possible to add a test to AC_PROG_CPP that would make sure that $CPP
errors on a bogus header.

        Thanks for your time
        Michael
