Thanks.  A local build had broken on the explicit 'gcc'; the quick fix is
simply to make it $(CC), so I have done just that.

But it would be useful to have a comment in the source saying why 'ccdv'
needs non-standard configure/make treatment.

Andrew: If you read this on your return, could you add a brief comment?

No, I don't particularly want to get sidetracked into its insides.  I was
simply wondering why, from the configure/make perspective, it seems to be
a "special case".

Best wishes.
