ATLAS ignores CC variable, then dumps core when trying to build with Sun Studio on Solaris

[drkirkby]

Using

• Solaris 10 update 7 on SPARC
• sage-4.1.2.alpha4
• Sun Studio 12.1
• An updated configure script to allow the Sun compiler to be used #7021

I tried to build Sage with Sun Studio and see:

atlas-3.8.3.p9/src/src/auxil/ATL_hescal.c
atlas-3.8.3.p9/src/src/auxil/ATL_axpy.c
