LOL!!! Yeap it is old. I can only hope one day to let them let me upgrade
things.
Well your idea of compiling outside the configure step was a good one.
A simple hello world compile (gcc -Wall hello.c -o hello) just sets there.
Something seems to be wrong with my gcc.
Or maybe it is so old, it has forgotten what to do. :)

Tech stuff first:
Compiling wget 1.12Solaris 5.8 Sparc sun4u
(Let me know if you want other info)
Early on in my run of configure the process stops at:
checking for C compiler default output file name...
Any ideas what might be causing this? The last few lines of the config log
are:
configure:3253: gcc --version 5
Using builtin specs.
gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release)
Wow, this is old.
configure:3268 $? = 0
configure:3275: gcc -V 5
gcc argument to '-V' is missing
configure:3279: $? = 1
configure 3302: checking for compiler default output filename
configure:3324 gcc -o a.out conftest.c 5
That is where things stop.
This is usually the place where configure tries to look if your compiler
can actually generate binaries that run. There should be a more elaborate
message in config.log, please paste and additionally try that the compiler
actually works as the version is quite old.
Best regards
