After changing any compiler and make, I would recommend deleting and 
uncompressing the orca tarball and then rerunning configure.  This 
should take care of some problems.

Well, I know that gcc and Gnu's make work on Linux.  The Make version 
shouldn't matter.  Just get your gcc compiler working and you should be 
fine.
