php configure stalls after host system type check

[cjbpgh]

I'm having a problem configuring/compiling on a sparc. The configure script stalls after checking the host type.

Version: Solaris 8
PHP Version: 4.3.4
Apache Version: 2.0.48

Here's what I get:

20:25:52 (54). ./configure --with-apxs2=/export/home/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
^C

Earlier in February there was a post about this and the fix stated was having /usr/xpg4/bin in the path. I do have that in the path, along with all other required directories and still receive this error.

Does anyone have any insight?

After that, it checks for gcc or cc.
It tests by compiling some dummy code.

Do you build a lot of stuff on this box?
