 Here is one way to compile with DU cc:

 $ CC='cc -std' CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --enable-static-rnd=egd --disable-nls --disable-asm 

 CC requires -std (relaxed ANSI mode). The default is K&R mode (== -std0).
 CPPFLAGS is needed because I have zlib includes in there (funny enough, I
 don't need the corresponding LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib for libz.so. cc finds
 it anyway).
 CFLAGS are a matter of personal preference.
 DU has no /dev/random, so I'm using egd.
 --disable-asm: If you try to use asm modules, the compiler driver invokes
 a program calles ugen. It's not on my system, I don't know what it does
 (and I don't have the OS CD's here anymore). The asm files all have a .S
 suffix. Read here what the compiler does to .S files:

 Here is another way:

 $ CC='cc -std' CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --enable-static-rnd=egd --disable-nls

 Then, cd into mpi/ and rename all .S files to .s:

 $ for i in *.S ; do mv $i `basename $i .S`.s ; done

 cd .. and make.
