When I run configure, it goes into an infinite loop.  I traced the problem
to the following statement in 'configure.in', line 1213 in version 5.1.1:

  if [ "`/usr/bin/which $CCBASE`" = "/usr/ucb/cc" ]; then

This line is executed only for Solaris.  The problem is that on Solaris,
/usr/bin/which is a script that reads the user's .cshrc to get the aliases
and the path.  However, in my personal .cshrc file I have a few 'which'
commands, so the configure scripts loops forever, creating more and more
'which' processes, until the system runs out of processes.

The workaround for now is to comment out all the 'which' statements before
the configure, restore them afterwards.

Anyone has a better idea?

Thanks
