Ok, I reconfigured with LDFLAGS="-Wl,brtl", which I assume stands
for "run time linking" or something like that?

configure only did a few tests, then bugged out with:

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Relevant snip from config.log:

I assume the --disable-shared option to gcc-configure is a showstopper
in this case? (I'm assuming that the last entry in "Configured with",
is what counts...)
