Re: vim-6.0 crashed SIGBUS in clear_termcodes() / ncurses

Thanks Tom ... I might have been wrong, I thought when I defined
env variable CC (pointing to /opt/SUNWspro/.../cc), on a clean
unpack / configure, it seemed to select gcc which was found
(PATH ... /usr/local/bin), instead of ${CC};

Then I edited the file "configure" (around line 859) --

  ###     Checks for programs.
  # Extract the first word of "gcc", so it can be a program name with args.
  set dummy gcc; ac_word=$2
            ^^^---               ... hacked this to say "cc"
  echo $ac_n "checking for $ac_word""... $ac_c" 1>&6

And I was off and running.  Yes, I think I was really wrong, just
now I started over from an empty env and configure did obey my
CC env definition (and didn't insist on gcc).  Sorry 'bout that; Larry.
