neon configure fails with CC set?

[Daniel Stenberg <da...@haxx.se>]

Yes

I know this sounds weird, and it is weird too.

If I set the environment variable CC before I run the top-level subversion
configure script, then the neon configure script fails with the output shown
below.

If I don't set CC, the db configure script fails to detect my gcc and instead
stops on my non-working cc compiler...

So, if I edit my $PATH (to not include the dir with my faulty cc) and don't
have CC set, I can run subversion's configure successfully!
