full paths don't work for -c, -x in runConfigure

           Summary: full paths don't work for -c, -x in runConfigure
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 1.6.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: greep@mindspring.com
                CC: greep@mindspring.com


I tried building with the following command:
  ./runConfigure -P/opt/xerces-c-1.6.0 -plinux -c/opt/gcc-2.95.2/bin/gcc
-x/opt/gcc-2.95.2/bin/g++
The library compiled but did not include src/util/Compilers/GCCDefs.cpp.
Therefore stricmp was undefined, and the samples did not link.
Apparently the build scripts check for the compiler equal to gcc (or g++)
and do not recognize this when it's at the end of a full path.
(/usr/bin/g++ on my system does not include the standard I/O header files
so it's pretty much useless.)

The workaround is to use:
  PATH="/opt/gcc-2.95.2/bin:$PATH" sh ./runConfigure -P/opt/xerces-c-1.6.0
-plinux -cgcc -xg++

This qualifies as a WONTFIX in my book. That's not the intended use of
-c and -x, and there is a workaround. 

BugZilla is down until Pier fixes MySQL, so you have until then to
convince me otherwise.
