System: SunOS gauley 5.8 Generic_108528-20 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
Architecture: sun4

>Description:
  Running configure in top level of src dir ( krb5-1.2.8/src ) it can't find gcc unless I use "--with-cc=/path/to/gcc" or I set an environment variable of $CC=/path/to/gcc .  My gcc is located at /usr/local/bin/gcc and this is in my path.  I have compiled other source on this machine, and gcc is always found.  I realize this may be on purpose, but I didn't see anything in the documentation.  Most folks should be able to fix this (like I did), but I thought maybe this should be noted somewhere?  Or maybe people should just use the configure options.  
>Fix:
   Insufficient knowledge to correct configure script.
