 But strange that /lib/cpp then does not work when called from inside
 configure.[[BR]]
 I don't know what to do about the {{{execvp: No such file or directory}}}
 problem.
 I don't think it is a problem with configure in this case.[[BR]]
 Could $PATH be different when cpp is called from inside configure? Maybe a
 different shell is used where environment variables are different?

 Yes, but you don't even have g++. ;-)
