[Python-Dev] configuration "feature"

I just checked out a fresh copy of Python from Sourceforge
on a Solaris 5.8 machine, and typed:

    ./configure -with-cxx

rather than

    ./configure -with-cxx=g++

It generates a makefile with "CXX=yes", so "make" produces:

    bash-2.03$ make
    yes -c -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
\
        -o Modules/ccpython.o ./Modules/ccpython.cc
    make: yes: Command not found

:-)
