 I'm trying to build Boost for HP NonStop system using a
 cross compiler running on cygwin.  I'm just starting
 out trying to run ".../boost/libs/config/configure" to
 generate an initial confg header.  This is failing on
 the attempt to simply compile an empty "main"

 configure: failed program was:
 | /* confdefs.h.  */
 |
 | #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
 | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
 | #define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
 | #define PACKAGE_STRING ""
 | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
 | /* end confdefs.h.  */
 |
 | int
 | main ()
 | {
 |
 |   ;
 |   return 0;
 | }

 If I manually create such a file and compile it with
 the following line, I find the following:

 DKICK1_at_IL27-7496 /usr/local/boost_1_33_0/libs/config
 $ ls
 config.htm  config.log  configure  duff.cc  index.html

    return 0;

 However, if I try the following:

 DKICK1_at_IL27-7496 /usr/local/boost_1_33_0/libs/config
 $ sh ./configure
 CXX=/usr/local/compaq-etk-nse/G06.24/bin/c89

 on3 -Winspect -Wsaveabend -Wrefalign=2
 -Wfieldalign=auto -Wnolist -Wverbose -WC
 ' LDFLAGS='-Wrunnamed -Whighpin=off
 -Wnld="-allow_missing_libs -libname \$APPL1
 .CSSLIB.NLIBRARY -libvol $APPL1.CSSLIB" -Wsystype=guardian'

 I get the attached config.log.

 I'm sure that the problem has something to do with
 quoting/expansion/etc.  I've tried variations on the
 theme, including exporting these environment variables
 instead of passing them on the command line, but I
 can't seem to find the right combination of quotes and
 escapes to get configure to do what I want it to do.
 Any help?

 BTW, the option to get this compiler to dump the
 version is '-Wversion'.

 $ /usr/local/compaq-etk-nse/G06.24/bin/c89.exe -Wversion
 @(#) $Version: T8164G09_01MAR2004_c89_05MAR2004_WIN32V_
 $c89.exe: error: No input file.

 I'm not sure how to get configure to use this option
 correctly, though.
