Well, the last run I did was

env CC=gcc ./configure --prefix=/afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/ 
krb5/1.5.3/sun4x_59

I definitely did the first time I tried, but I did a dist clean
in between configures.

I've often found that things that "should" work don't at SLAC for  
many various reasons. I hacked config.status to use the right option  
and it's
compiling away. I will pack an clean copy of 1.6.1 and see if I can  
figure out what oddness is causing this now that I understand what  
the problem is.
