I can't get it to work without passing CC even with config.guess and
config.sub.  If you want it to work, could you submit a patch?  I've
set up a temporary repo:

hg clone http://bytereef.org:8000/ mpdecimal

Also, do you by any chance know a better solution for ldconfig (I'm
calling it unconditionally during install)?  I vaguely remember
that ldconfig does something different on OpenBSD.
