configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
Posted: 4. Jun 2012, 08:13
I am trying to install the Cherokee web server via Sourcery. I get the error message as shown in the title; which is a lie by the way as it has successfully created many executables 
The message goes on to suggest that I look in the config.log for more details. It looks like the following lines could be the root cause
How do I make sure it selects the right CPU?
Here is the full config.log in case it helps
