I ran in to a similar problem.. Upgrade your version of gcc to 3.x. and
the problem should go away. You might want to also put in the 2.4x kernel.
Its much better.

        Subject: Reliving an old compile problem

"checking for C compiler default output... configure:
error: C compiler cannot create executables"

I searched the archives for this and have found
results but not that help to much in my account. I was
hoping I can get some help. I have not done source
compile installs in about 2 years so I am
unfortunately a bit out of practice. An old legacy
system I had switched to a system that does curl for
credit card purcahses and the site is up a creek
without a paddle till we get curl to compile

Running redhat 6.2
compiling with curl-7.10.7
eventually compiling with PHP
So here is the problem:

I get this error:
"checking for C compiler default output... configure:
error: C compiler cannot create executables"

From the docs I tried seting the gcc cc environments
with CC but that did not work :(

Below is the configure results followed by the
config.log

 --- configure ---
[root_at_timmy curl-7.10.7]# ./configure

portions of Makefiles... no
checking for sed... /bin/sed

See `config.log' for more details.

a mistake.

It was created by curl configure -, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57. Invocation command
