weird test in configure..

[Peschko, Edward]

hey,

I noticed a weird test in configure for cvs-1.11.6:

checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -g together... yes

Now, why does cvs need to know *both* compilers, whether or not they 
'understand -c and -g together'? Reason I ask is because when I try to 
configure  on a sun that has /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc, and the license server is 
down, the test hangs.
Could it - at least the part about the dual compiler - be gotten rid of?

Thanks,

Ed
