Yes, I'm building it on RedHat 6.1, too. uname says:
Linux [name] 2.2.12.32 #1 [date] i686 unknown.
I've tried it with the option
--host=Linux or
--host=i686-unknown-Linux
Now configure says:
checking host system type... Invalid configuration 'Linux': machine
'Linux'
and stops with the error: C compiler cannot create executables
The rest of the process is listed above. A big thx for help in
advance.
