Problems compiling on Solaris

I am having a great deal of difficulty compiling Cone (0.57) on Solaris. 
This Solaris box is a donated one to my free-software group Tux4Kids, and 
is co-maintained between myself and the person who is providing the 
network connection to it. Long story short, it has some strange 
installation and path requirements.

I have aspell compiled, and am installing into /usr, so I issue configure 
thusly:
 ./configure --with-spellcheck=aspell --prefix=/usr

Additionally, I have ncurses headers as well as other libraries and 
headers installed in some strange places (dont ask) so I have the 
following environmental variables set:
 CPPFLAGS=/opt/samfw/include:/opt/samfw/include/openssl
 LDFLAGS=/opt/samfw/lib

However, during the configure, I get:
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

which seems to be happenning when the configure script recursively goes 
into the unicode/ directory. From the config.log file, this appears to be 
where the bottlekneck is:
configure: failed program was:
| #line 2196 "configure"
| /* confdefs.h.  */
| 
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
| #define PACKAGE_STRING ""
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
| 
| int
| main ()
| {
| 
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:2262: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Taking this snippet out and compiling it on my own, I get no problems.

Any suggestions what I should try?
