4.8.0 fails to build (configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH)

[rtwas]

Hello,

"make" fails for some reason. I'm not sure if this is a 64bit/32bit 
problem or a naming problem.

os: SuSE10.2 (amd64)

        build path: /usr/local/packages/rtos/rtems/4.8/4.8.0

I thought it might be a confused "configure" script so I also tried 
starting over and reconfiguring with:
<../rtems-4.8.0/configure --target=powerpc-rtems 
--enable-rtemsbsp=mvme5500 --program-prefix=powerpc-rtems4.8->
with the same results.

Help appreciated.
