I'm not familiar with this particular application, but the normal 
expectation is that a file such as config.log will be created, which 
will enlighten you and us about the failing command.  Many FAQs 
specifically dictate that you must show these details when asking for 
assistance.  If config.log doesn't contain adequate detail, the 
diagnostics produced by repeating the failing invocation of gcc may be 
of use.
