2.8.3 not compiling on IRIX... strtoull issue?

Vadim,

At the risk of sounding ignorant, isn't bk-deps only used when the
source code is compiled? The file string.cpp is indeed being compiled
with CC.

Isn't the problem with configure -- the test program that checks for
strtoull is being compiled with cc instead of CC. It looks like the
configure command file uses a variable called $ac_link to specify the
build command and the last time it gets set (before the test for
strtoull) it gets set to:

$ac_link='$CC -o ...'

instead of:

$ac_link='$CXX -o ...'

Confused,
Marco
