So, it seems like gcc -V is getting called incorrectly, which causes
problems later on.
I suspect the gcc -V thing is a red herring.
This looks like the problem:
configure:2207: gcc conftest.c >&5
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc

It appears that you compiler can't create executables with the flags
you've supplied. Perhaps it's a 64-bit libraries vs 32-bit compiler
thing? I dunno what RHEL does in this regard.
Can you compile a "hello world" program? Is the gcc in the path the one
that you expect? ("CC=/usr/bin/gcc ./configure")?

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
