Re: configure script failure with SCO 5.0.7

The configuration scripts appear to be lookin for the path

/usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/elf/2.95.3/...

while the equivalent path for the SCO-supplied GNU tools appears to be

/usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-sco3.2v5.0/2.95.3/..

Where do I make changes to set this path? Adding it to my path in .profile
did not correct the problem.

config.log is pasted below (system serial number removed).

Thanks for your assistance,

David P. Lurie

config.log:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by PostgreSQL configure 7.4.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure
