In the directory being configured, there ought to be a config.log that
will have more detailed info.  Gcc tries to compile and link some simple
test program, then execute it.  Among the oft surprising things it needs
are assert.h, crt1.o, crtn.o, crtbegin.o, etc... config.log will show
you which thing wasn't found.  Most likely, gcc isn't at fault; some
system type file wasn't found.
