term.h complaint when building Python 2.3.3

[Paul Watson]

I am trying to build Python 2.3.3 on AIX.  I believe that we are using gcc 
2.95.3, but later in the ./configure output, it appears to say that gcc is not 
being used.  Any suggestions?

$ uname -a
AIX kbs80 3 4 000C30CD4C00 unknown

$ whence cc
/tools/bin/cc

$ ls -al /tools/bin/cc
lrwxrwxrwx   1 internal tools           3 Jul  2  2001 /tools/bin/cc -> gcc

$ whence gcc
/tools/bin/gcc

$ gcc -v
