# ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I tried this in .tmp and one of my own directories.
A web search for that error message did not turn up much that was useful because the error itself is rather generic.
What were the errors in the config.log file?
If the config.log is too long to post, post the errors, being sure to surround them with "code" tags, which become available when you click the "Go Advanced" button to the right of the "Post Quick Reply" button at the bottom of the reply window. Using the "code" tags makes them much easier to read.
The first error is likely the most important, as following errors may have stemmed from it.
