And I agree fully.

I ran the configure without setting CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS at all and then
assumptions were made ( I presume ) and here we are.

However, right now I am running the build again but thus :


.
.
.
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile /opt/csw/gcc4/bin/gcc
-std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_`echo
redc_2 | sed 's/_$//'`    -march=pentiumpro -mno-mmx -mno-sse -malign-double
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO -DSOLARIS2=8
-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -c -o redc_2.lo redc_2.c
libtool: compile:  /opt/csw/gcc4/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..
-D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_redc_2 -march=pentiumpro -mno-mmx -mno-sse
-malign-double -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO
-DSOLARIS2=8 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -c redc_2.c 
-fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/redc_2.o
.
.
.

etc

I'll be happy to post good results shortly :-)   ( I hope )
