4.2.3: configure xxx cannot create executables

While running a configure script, you see a message like this:

checking for m68k-rtems-gcc... (cached) m68k-rtems-gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler
cannot create executables
configure: error: /bin/sh '../../../../rtems-ss-4.6.99.3/c/make/configure'
failed for c/make

This kind of error message typically indicates a broken toolchain, broken toolchain installation or broken user environment.

Examinating the config.log corresponding to the the failing configure script should provide further information of what actually goes wrong (In the example above: <target>/c/<BSP>/make/config.log)
