Comment (by robe):

 Hey Brian,

 I found this interesting tidbit of a guy having what looks like similar
 issue to yours.
 His was on Solaris, but still could be the same issue.

 Thanks, but I figured out the problem after a little more digging.

 The problem was that on solaris 11.1, /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink pointing
 to
 /usr/gcc/4.5/bin/gcc and /usr/bin was in the PATH env var, but there is no
 corresponding symlink for cpp.  After putting /usr/gcc/4.5/bin in the
 path,
 the configure script was able to find cpp and set SQLPP appropriately.

 Unfortunately the build fails further down with some linkling problems,
 but
 I'll do a little more research on my own before following up on the
 mailing
 list.

 Thanks again for the help!  Much appreciated!

 I'm not near an Ubuntu machine at moment, but I don't recall the gcc
 registering itself as

 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu like yours does.  granted I've never paid that
 close attention
