[Savannah-users] Help compiling GNU software

[Rierson Robert Civ OC-ALC/MASLA]

I am running on a SPARC 20 system running SunOS 4.1.4 and trying to compile
several  of the GNU software packages. Almost every package I try hits the
following error running config.

configure:1975: cc    conftest.c  >&5
ld: Undefined symbol 
   _main 
configure:1978: $? = 2
configure: failed program was:
configure:2005: error: C compiler cannot create executables


See the CONFIG.LOG file below. Can someone point me in the correct
direction. The sample below was for compiling TEXINFO which is required for
compiling GCC.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
