I'm trying to compile gnucash on a Potato system and I get this error:

debian-mobile:/usr/local/gnucash-1.4.8# ./configure --host=i386-linux
loading cache ./config.cache

checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot 
create executables.  

This may be a dumb question but is it required to have the kernel source and 
headers to compile programs on a system?
