You probably need a smarter version of basename. The sysV basename
is such that:
if
x = ` basename u.c .[cC]`
then $x = u.  The shell script CC uses this fact to take care of the 
names of things. Look on your Iris basename is probably a shell script
that uses expr in a clever way. Either install this as basename on the
SUN or arrange for CC to use it. 
       By the way I cannot get CC to work on a SUN-3 using 3.4.
It makes OK but the final front end just hangs. And I have made all
the changes to stdio.h. ( getc putc clearerr IORW ....)
