stlport

I want to use cgicc with STLPort. Invoking configure script like

./configure \
        CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/stlport " \
        --prefix=/usr/local

generated

    configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

I also tried many variations of configure but failed.  However I can 
compile cgicc (and test programs) by manually modifying auto-generated 
Makefiles. I simply modified CXXFLAGS and add required libraries 
(-lstlport_gcc -lpthread) to LIBS in Makefiles. I think this is not "the 
right thing" to do.

What is the proper way to invoke configure script to prepend required 
flags to the makefiles?

I am using cgicc 3.2.1 on rh 7.2.

thanks in advance
