Well, presumably your cc command had a -t argument which wasn't
in a valid form (garbage arguments or just in an incorrect syntax).

I would think you'd want to post the exact command that generated
the error (so folks can see what the argument with -t was), but
barring that.. here's what the documentation says -t takes
(from http://docs.hp.com/en/92501-90029/ch03s02.html):

-tx, name

Substitutes or inserts subprocess x using name, where x is one or more
identifiers indicating the subprocess or subprocesses. This option works
in two modes: 1) if x is a single identifier, name represents the full
path name of the new subprocess; 2) if x is a set of identifiers, name
represents a prefix to which the standard suffixes are concatenated to
construct the full path names of the new subprocesses. The value of x
can be one or more of the following:
Value

Description
a

Assembler (standard suffix is as).
b

The C compiler driver (cc) used to compile the translated C++ code and
invoke the assembler and the linker.
c

The C compiler (translator mode only; standard suffix is ccom.)
C

C++ compiler (standard suffix is cfront).
f

Filter tool (c++filt).
l

Linker (standard suffix is ld).
m

Merge tool (c++merge; translator mode only).
0 (zero)

Same as c. See also Table 3-2.
p

Preprocessor (standard suffix is Cpp).
P

Patch tool (c++patch).
x

All subprocesses.
