    checking whether 
   build environment is sane… yes checking for gawk… gawk checking whether make 
   sets $(MAKE)… yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of 
   Makefiles… no

    checking for gcc… gcc checking
   for C compiler default output file name… configure: error: C compiler cannot
