Error with configure on Solaris 7

[Christopher R. Jones]

Platform - Solaris 7, Intel
Compiler - gcc version 2.8.1
make - gnu make 3.77
tar - gnu tar

Source mysql-3.22.25.tar.gz

Untar works fine

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

Stops on error: 

checking for restartable system calls... configure: error can not run test
programs while cross compiling

Then configure stops.

Note I did try the following hint from the manual:
CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O6 -fomit-frame-pointer" \
       CXX=gcc \
       CXXFLAGS="-O6 -fomit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors
-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \
       ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

Any ideas?
