My C compiler is at:
$ ls -l /bin/cc.exe

lrwxrwxrwx 1 paul None 20 2009-12-23 16:09 /bin/cc.exe -> 
/etc/alternatives/cc

 From my years of experiences, "{}" is the simplest version of a 
to-be-compiled C program.  It is syntaxily correct.  in any case, the 
above DID work in 1.7-68.

I was doing a "configure" when it failed the first time:
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/usr/local/mysql-5/mysql-5.1.41':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
