Hi all,

I've just started my LFS journey, and I've hit upon a problem when running configure during binutils pass 2. I've not deviated from the book at all (discounting any mistakes I've not noticed - it's late here, but I've been careful).

The error:
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I've attached my config.log, and there's further information below. Thanks in advance.
