[ale] grsync configure error

[ale at pcartwright.com (Paul Cartwright)]

any idea what I need??
# sh ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: in 
`/disk2/software/grsync-1.1.1':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
