Please note that when I say cc doesn't work with vi-editing at the
bash command line, I mean that nothing happens.

Also, I did not clean up the vimrc file because I suspect that there
is very little chance that it was the culprit.  I believed that
nothing from vimrc is used for vi-editing at the command line.  I
confirmed this just now by renaming /usr/share/vim/vim{rc,files} and
observing the same problem with vi-editing at the command line.
