Ant-contrib workaround for CC task?

[easter <ea...@free.fr>]

I spent the last 2 days replacing my nasty Makefiles with lovely 
build.xml files to compile some
native libraries, works wonders on Windows, Linux and Unix.
However, some libs I need to link with are compiled using Sun's CC, so I 
had to change the default
compiler to CC instead of gcc. There is a problem using the latest 
ant-contrib in that this then causes
the script to hang, with no output, traces or anything.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?
I've tried asking on the ant-contrib forums on Sourceforge, but no-one 
seems to be alive there.


Many thanks
