Possible explanations include having a "gcc" (without a specific version suffix) on the $PATH (gcc will be chosen over cc in that case), or having configured CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS in the environment to ./configure. You might post your full output of ./configure rather than leaving us to guess at it. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad)
