Gus,

I just wanted to point out that you have "export CXX=pgcpp" in your
configure script.  This should be "export CXX=pgCC", pgcpp is the c
pre-preprocessor, pcCC is the c++ compiler.  (IMHO, cpp is an
unfortunate name for the pre-processor.)

I'm not sure how related this is to what you're seeing.
