Whoa, really?  This is a Linux system that hasn't been updated since the 
1990's?  Or do you have some cross-compilation tools installed in your 
path?

If it really is that old, then your first step needs to be "upgrade to a 
newer Linux distribution".  Such an old system does not have correct 
thread support.

This is bogus: cc1 is not a C compiler, but rather just _part_ of a C
compiler.  It's normally invokved by the compilation driver program, 'gcc'
or 'cc'.  The errors after that stem from that incorrect choice, as cc1
doesn't take the same arguments as cc or gcc and only generates assembler
output and not object files.

If I'm reading the configure script correctly, then the ac_ct_CC
environment variable is somehow being set to that value, which would be
wrong.  What's the output of
	env | grep ^ac
and
	echo $PATH
?

Gah!  Don't!  You should only run stuff as root when you have a specific 
reason to do so!  Didn't you see all those "don't do stuff as root" 
statements in any of the docs you read when you set this system up?  If 
not, then you need to go read some UNIX/Linux administration books, ASAP.

Re: Error during ./configure

It sounds like you have a invalid compiler or your system has some permissions problems or read only disk mounts.  

check with your system admin and see if they can update your gcc compiler.
