configure doesn't find cl

["Stojanovic, Marta" <Marta.Stojanovic@nrc.ca>]

Hi all !

I don't know what I'm doing wrong : I used to build SN without any problems
on Win2000 using cygwin and MSVC6, but now when I'm trying configure again
it gives the following message : 

.....
checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -Z7 -Od ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
creat
e executables.
Configure in /cygdrive/d/Marta/SN452build/db failed, exiting.

It shouldn't be gcc there, it should find cl (I define both CC=cl and
CFLAGS="-Z7 -Od" before starting configure). And yes, I ran VCVARS32.BAT to
set MSVC env. variables ... I looked in configure.cache, no sign of cl (but
: ac_cv_prog_gcc=${ac_cv_prog_gcc='yes'}). I checked the PATH, and played
with it : cygwin puts /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin etc. before everything else,
but I tried putting MSVC bin directory first, without succes. I even tried
to give CC the full path to cl, still no succes. 

It worked fine before, so there must be something that I've changed, but I
don't know what that can be. Any suggestions ? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Marta.
