I am still a novice on Linux

I am working on chapter 5.6.1.

I am working on ubuntu 6.10 host

Let me give some background: I am trying to develop a CLFS fro a pentium-M PrPMC board on a Pentium4 desktop. I have 2.6.18 kernel, and rest(Binutils, gcc and glibc) are same as in the book. I could make it work till chapter5.7.1 glibc configure. make failed with threading errors as I was building for i386 ( I wanted pentium-M or i686 platform).

So, I went back, cleaned up everything and started from scratch and on chapter 5.6.1 installing GCC 4.1.1. The only stupid thing I did was to try to install some 686 kernel headers which failed because of some dependencies.

configure command fails with the following report:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

HERE is the CONFIG.log output:

configure:1825: checking for gcc
configure:1938: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works
configure:1954: gcc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:

#line 1949 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}

I shall be very greatfull if anybody can suggest a workaround or solution for this
