checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

any help would be appreciated.
I do have GCC, running on a slackware 10 box.

here is the config.log (the relavant info anyways)

configure:1720: $? = 0
configure:1722: gcc -v </dev/null >&5

i realize thats the error, but i have no clue what " 'as " is.... hence why i asked for help.

Confused

Possibly a reinstall of gcc will sort it.

As far as i remember it was a problem with missing glibc-devel package installed.

thanks for the tips.
i installed binutils-2.15.92.0.2-i486-3, and it took care of the `as problem.

It errored out again with limits.h, i fixed that with kernel-headers-2.4.32-i386-1

thanks guys for pointing the way.
