I know it is old, but I may not be the only one with and old machine.

This fixes it.  I'll take a look at putting in a configure check for this. 
I *think* I know what to do, but I just spent the whole night trying to 
figure out why configure thinks I'm using the g77 compiler.  Still no 
clue.  It compiles fine and actually gcc, but it would be nice if 
configure didn't say it is going to use g77.

I'll also see if I can figure out why --without-ssl isn't working.
