This looks like all the extra flags that "Sun's odd compiler"
needs. They will have been provided by the imake configuration in
Solaris 2.4.

If you always want to use gcc, you can add the following line to
/usr/openwin/lib/config/site.def in the #ifdef BeforeVendorCF section:
        #define HasGcc2 YES

Alternatively, take a copy of the xmkmf script from /usr/openwin/bin and
add this to the imake command:
        -DHasGcc2

Hopefully, this will cause the gcc template to be used for your
Makefiles.

Also check that your definition of FVWM_MODULEDIR has quotes around it.
