Well, there are quite a few strange things.  To start with, somtimes
./configure does not accept the native compiler:

,----
| 18:46:32 lynx2-8-4#460$ rm config.cache
| config.cache: No such file or directory
| 18:46:32 lynx2-8-4#460$ which cc
| /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
| 18:46:44 lynx2-8-4#461$ which gcc
| /export/AB/local/bin//gcc
| 18:46:50 lynx2-8-4#462$ CC=cc
| 18:47:02 lynx2-8-4#463$ echo $CC
| cc
| 18:47:09 lynx2-8-4#464$ CC=cc;./configure --disable-news

`----

Looks like it is determined to use gcc (I've compiled ncurses with
cc).

Among other things ./configure tells that

,----
| checking if curses supports alternate-character set... acs_map
| checking if curses supports fancy attributes... no
| checking for ncurses version... 5.0.19991023
| checking for obsolete/broken version of ncurses... no
| checking if curses supports color attributes... yes
...
| checking if we can include termio.h with curses... no
| srcdir is .
| updating cache ./config.cache
| creating ./config.status
`----

Then at the compilation I get:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I../../.. -I../../../src -I../../.. -I../../../src  
-I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation -O2    
-I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/ -DXMOSAIC_HACK -DACCESS_AUTH -c 
../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/HTParse.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I../../.. -I../../../src -I../../.. -I../../../src  
-I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation -O2    
-I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/ -DXMOSAIC_HACK -DACCESS_AUTH -c 
../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAccess.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I../../.. -I../../../src -I../../.. -I../../../src  
-I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation -O2    
-I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/ -DXMOSAIC_HACK -DACCESS_AUTH -c 
../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/HTTP.c
In file included from ../../../src/LYStrings.h:4,
                 from ../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/HTTP.c:39:
../../../src/LYCurses.h:435: parse error before `FANCY_CURSES'
make[1]: *** [HTTP.o] Error 1


that is

,----
| #undef COLOR_CURSES
| Error FANCY_CURSES
| There is a problem with the configuration.  We expect to have FANCY_CURSES
| defined when COLOR_CURSES is defined, since we build on the attributes used in
| FANCY_CURSES.  Check your config.log to see why the FANCY_CURSES test failed.
| #endif
