You really do have to check config.log. Check for any lines where it
tries to invoke the compiler, and check whether it does so in the way
you expect it to.
From the output you provide, it seems to use "cc" as the compiler,
not /usr/vacpp/bin/cc_r. Looking at the comfigure code, this is not
surprising: --without-gcc resets CC to cc.
