Nope, I removed my ~/config/cf_plplot.in and tried it from a freshly checked
out tree, and it still fails at the same place.  Am investigating.

On another note, I need to modify the command line args used by the compiler
or linker.  Although I've made progress, so far I still haven't gotten a
completely successful build on either: Solaris, OSF1, or IRIX.  As for the
first two, the build is trying to pass the "-fPIC" option to the KCC compiler
which isn't supported.  So I need to get rid of that, or change it to +KPIC.
I'm reading through the AM info pages now, what a pain.

As for IRIX, I need to pass "-64 -mips4" somehow.  This at least I know I can
do in principle, probably by using flags like I did before:

USER_FLAGS_CXX:	add these to CXXFLAGS
USER_FLAGS_CC:	add these to CCFLAGS

and so on.
