Probably too dumb actually - this makes sense under Solaris where /usr/ucb/cc 
aborts with exit status 1, because the compiler isn't bundled.  I provided 
binaries to J.F. Gournay, so he probably doesn't have SUNWspro.  However, the CPP 
in /usr/ccs/lib should work, so the simple answer is probably to create a symbolic 
link to it named cc in some BURT-searched directory (will this work?).

It does if you realise that the binaries he is using were copied from APS's 
/usr/local/epics/extensions/bin/solaris directory, where they were compiled 
against X11R5 rather than openwin.  I can't build BURT here because it won't 
compile using g++.

Anyone fancy making a set of BURT binaries available which were compiled against 
openwin instead?  We don't need them, but I'm happy to keep them in my ftp area 
with the other Solaris binaries, ftp://ftp.ast.cam.ac.uk/pub/epics/extensions
