Nothing (including sysloc.in) is currently used from the cf directory.  I
did copy sysloc.in from that directory to the top level, and then stripped
some stuff I thought was unneeded from it.

You should be able to get back what you need by doing a diff between the two
to see what has been added and what has been stripped from the top level
version compared to the cf version of sysloc.in.  Then it should be a simple
matter to add back whatever extra is needed to the top level version.
However, this might not be necessary, see next paragraph.

One thing that puzzles me about your recent ".lo" comments is that autotools
are supposed to work fine with cc on solaris (see PLATFORMS in the
autobook).  So I don't see why ".lo" is bothering cc.  Also, from a google
search, there have been commits to the libtool tree to deal specifically
with KCC.  So I started wondering if there was something simple (a flag or
macro) that will make KCC work smoothly.  I just looked at info autoconf,
and indeed there is a compiler list you can give the AC_PROG_CXX and
AC_PROG_CC macros, and KCC is one of those compilers.  Perhaps specifying a
compiler list to those macros that includes KCC is what you should be doing.

Another thing worth trying on solaris is cc rather than KCC to see whether
autotools does work as claimed with pure cc.
