It would be much better if you had followed the guidelines at

It would have saved us all a lot of time!

To find out whats wrong, you should try to compile the following
program (saved as conftest.c):
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w");
if (!f) exit(1);
fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof(char));
exit(0);
}
With the following compile line:
gcc -o conftest -g -O -DDBUG_ON -DSAFE_MUTEX conftest.c -ldl -lnsl
-lm -lsocket -lz -lcrypt -lgen -lpthread -lthread
This will tell you what's wrong.
You don't need glibc, but you may need to upgrade gcc to 2.95.2 if you
want to compile any program that uses the configure script
