Hi there!

I'm trying to build octave 2.0.1 on several architectures, using g77
0.5.19, gcc 2.7.2.1 and libg++ 2.7.2.

I configured octave with

--prefix=/n/gnu/octave-2.0.1 --enable-shared --with-g77

then

FPICFLAGS is set to -PIC on both SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.5 (SunOS
5.5), but this is wrong, g77 does not accept -PIC on these targets.
maybe configure.in should test whether g77 or another f77 compiler is
being used.

Regards,
