The config.log contains the following:
---------snip--------------------------

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:680: checking host system type
configure:703: checking for gcc
configure:807: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works
configure:823: gcc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5
configure: failed program was:

#line 818 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}
---------snap--------------------------

Can you help me make sense of this?
