The compiler that you have requested here is the Sun compiler - note
the program name above under FORTRAN compiler etc.  The options
specified are also the options one would use with the sun compilers.
The files in your $SYSLOCAL (CCOPTS.SH, LDOPTS.SH, and FDEFAULT.SH)
will all the use these directories and options.  If you do not have
the Sun compiler, the installation will fail.

You can change these choices (edit ~/.AIPSRC and restart install.pl, or
edit the $SYSLOCAL files and run INSTEP2 and INSTEP4) to pint to the
correct compiler and compiler options for your system

We have found that the Solaris compilers produce faster code on
Solaris systems than does gcc.  We made that test a long time ago and
things may have changed.
