If ccflags was empty the _previous_ $* containing all the

environment variables and Configure variables was used,
which lead, among other bad things, into $ccflags being your
uname -a output, which lead into test compile with cc failing,
which lead into gcc being selected, which didn't work that well
since gcc (ancient 2.8.1 in that particular box) wasn't too happy
with large files, et cetera.
