OK.  Yes, you need that to get around a later problem,
perhaps it will help what you ran into, too.

Ah.  It's detected automatically.  Do not set it manually unless
you really have to (and you shouldn't have to).

Good.  BTW it looks like the *shell script* is what crashed,
not the test program.  Thus your test case should not be just
the C program, but rather the configure script portion that
creates and compiles the test program, I think.
