	Agreed, something is wrong.  Up until now, before I did a
configure I always first set CC=cc.  I had thought this was the proper
way to decline to use gcc.  I also tried using --with-gcc=no and
--without-gcc, but those didn't seem to work either.  The --with* stuff
is ignored, and setting CC overrides mh-hpux.  (I'm using gnu
make-3.76.1 if that matters.)

	So if gcc is installed but I don't want to bootstrap with it,
what is the proper way to do it and still get the mh- stuff?  I'm not
a cygnus style configure hacker so I don't know what's up.
