As Kai says, you need to look at the config.log file in the directory where the build failed, and instead of just sending it to the list you can look in there for the failure and see what caused the error. There are always lots of non-fatal errors in config.log, you're looking for the last one which causes the fatal error: "checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libssp] Fehler 1"
