I used gcc as my c compiler, and aCC as a C++ compiler to 1) compile
ccpython and 2) link. aCC can't digest stuff that gcc can, e.g. -O3.
Standard build does try to feed -O3 to aCC. aCC did seem to be able to
compile ccpython with just CPPFLAGS. However, not everything seems to
work without a hitch at the moment, but I assume these are other,
unrelated problems (that I have trying to make omniORBpy work with
hp-ux).

Or should I just use hp-ux c compiler (cc) instead of gcc?
