Under SunOS 4.1.3, with gcc version 2.4.5, I get this error. The
configure script reports:

auntie://Python-1.2$ ./configure

checking for --without-gcc... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes

and so on, and the make fails as below.

Nobody expects....
