      Background:
	      Sun 4/280 Sun OS 4.1.1 GNU gcc compiler version 1.39

      Problem:

      Unfortunately, I don't read this news group as often as I probably
      should, but I cannot get perl 4.0 to compile using gcc.  I run
      through the standard Configure just changing the line cc to gcc
      when it asks.  Judging by what occurs after, Larry obviously has
      made provisions for gcc in the Configure.

I believe that Phil was having a problem with the *environment variable. (
Supposed to be defined in an include file Std. )
If I  remember correctly there was a fix for Configure for this problem
posted a few days ago.  You can also get around this by adding -U__STDC__
to the CFLAGS.  It worked for me on a 68k platform.
