No, it is not passed to the test, as the configure script for Automake doesn't need a C compiler at all, thus doesn't care about it at all. I can understand that this might be a little confusing, but point is, we'll probably have a hard time propagating all the configure settings to the test suite that users may care about. So I generally suggest to also set CC in the environment for this test suite. Cheers, Ralf
