I thought that I'd found the solution in Chapter 5.4 of "Linux From Scratch": Prepare GCC for compilation: # /usr/local/src/gcc-4.1.2/configure --prefix=/tools --with-local-prefix=/tools --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c ...but, alas, the command issued the same complaints as before. Ideas? Suggestions?

However, OVS 3 does NOT include a compiler (ref: http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleVM/OVM3/latest/x86_64/) so I set out to install GCC from source.
