UnixWare-7.1.1 failure of autoconf-2.49c selftest

[Allan Clark]

Autoconf;

The core of this problem may be related to the assumption that "fc" is
"fortran compiler".  In USL-based systems, that's your command history
processor.  http://uw7doc.sco.com/cgi-bin/man/man?fc can provide more
information.

Is there a way to avoid this problem?  Is there a full name for the
fortran compiler such as "f77c" ?
