Trouble compiling on OSF 4.0d (Digital Unix)

[John Scott Franko]

I have the c++ language only build  of gcc 2.95.2 installed on a stock 4.0d
Digital Unix system running on an Alphastation 200 4/166.  I've download and
untared the mysql-3.23.27-beta in /usr/local.  I cd to
/usr/local/mysql-3.23.27-beta, mkdir /usr/local/mysql, and ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql.  The configure completes successfully.  But when
I execute make, a flood of stuff goes up the screen ending in the errors
below.

I've tried the configure lines specified in the document:

http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html

in section 4.12.6 and 4.12.7, but the configure does not complete, saying
the c++ compiler (gcc ), cannot build executables.  But it doesn't complain
when I don't define the macro suggestions in these paragraphs for CC and
CCFLAGS, and CXX and CXXFLAGS.

The only binary OSF installation is for OSF 4.0f, and I don't have that.
