I found a similar situation recently trying to build current cvs
zmailer on a sparc Solaris 7.  I found that it was necessary to
specifiy the --with-gcc configuration flag -- setting and exporting
the CC environment wasn't sufficient.

Although I didn't look at the problem in-depth, I suspect that at
some point the CC environment/make variable is getting ignored and
/usr/ucb/cc was being used (and, being a non-functional compiler,
error'd out to produce sizeof(int) == 0).
