bug#5603: 23.1.90; value of CPP not used in configure script

[Peter Dyballa <Peter_Dyballa@Freenet.DE>]

Hello!

Trying to use the LLVM variant of GCC like this:

	env PATH=/Developer/usr/bin:/sw/bin:$PATH ./configure --without-sound  
--without-dbus --without-pop --with-ns --disable-ns-self-contained --x- 
libraries=/usr/X11/libs --x-includes=/usr/X11/include/X11 --enable- 
locallisppath=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar23:/Library/ 
Application\ Support/Emacs CC=llvm-gcc-4.2 CPP=llvm-cpp-4.2

or like this

	env PATH=/Developer/usr/bin:/sw/bin:$PATH CC=llvm-gcc-4.2 CPP=llvm- 
cpp-4.2 ./configure --without-sound --without-dbus --without-pop -- 
with-ns --disable-ns-self-contained --x-libraries=/usr/X11/libs --x- 
includes=/usr/X11/include/X11 --enable-locallisppath=/Library/ 
Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar23:/Library/Application\ Support/ 
Emacs

configure just finds:

	checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0
	checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0
	checking for gcc... llvm-gcc-4.2
	checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
	checking whether the C compiler works... yes
	checking whether we are cross compiling... no
	checking for suffix of executables...
	checking for suffix of object files... o
	checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
	checking whether llvm-gcc-4.2 accepts -g... yes
	checking for llvm-gcc-4.2 option to accept ISO C89... none needed
	checking how to run the C preprocessor... llvm-gcc-4.2 -E -no-cpp- 
precomp -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib

There is also the question whether the option "-no-cpp-precomp" really  
is necessary on Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6. The version of GCC 4.2 LLVM  
uses does not recognise this option:

	powerpc-apple-darwin9-llvm-gcc-4.2: unrecognized option '-no-cpp- 
precomp'
