Actually I compile with this gcc version pretty regularly and don't see this problem.

The point where I think things started to go wrong in this config.log:


configure:8692: checking whether gcc needs -traditional
configure:8726: result: yes
configure:8738: checking for Minix Amsterdam compiler
configure:8762: result: yes


After that almost every gcc command fails because of the -traditional option.

Also, these configure tests rely on grep. Further up in the log, I see this:


configure:6349: checking for grep that handles long lines and -e
configure:6407: result: /home//bin/ggrep
configure:6412: checking for egrep
configure:6474: result: /home//bin/ggrep -E


OP, is this a valid grep command on your system? Do you not have /bin/grep, which configure should have preferred to any ggrep?

From your config.log file:

  (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)

I'm pretty sure that is your problem.  I recommend you use a newer version of GCC.
