A bit of experimenting and it looks like a gcc issue.  Running

  $ CC=`which cc` ./configure

works fine, but using gcc triggers the failure.  I ran

  $ doas sysclean

(sysclean was installed from packages with `pkg_add sysclean`) and it
says that gcc was removed from base in a recent release when clang
was made official for i386 & amd64 in either OpenBSD 6.5 or 6.6), so
cleaning that out

  $ doas sysclean | doas xargs rm

means that the ./configure script finds cc instead properly by
default.

Sorry for the noise.  But it might be a helpful data-point in case
anybody else hits the issue.

So it's running on both my FreeBSD & OpenBSD machines without issue.

Thanks again!
