Nah. There are two problems with the Ultrix C compilers:
1. They aren't quite ANSI. Especially, they have problems with 'void'.
   Perl Configure guesses wrong about that. Answer '1' to the 'void'
   question.
2. The optimizers are buggy. Answer 'none' when Configure asks for the
   C compilation flags.
That should do it.
