I'm trying to build LyX on a machine with a fresh installation of Ubuntu
(something I've never done before).
So far I've done:
$ mkdir -p ~/lyx; cd ~/lyx;
$ svn co svn+ssh://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel
$ cd ~/lyx/lyx-devel; ./autogen.sh
LyX requires automake >= 1.5
$ sudo apt-get install automake
$ cd ~/lyx/lyx-devel; ./autogen.sh
$ mkdir -p ~/lyx/build; cd ~/lyx/build; ../lyx-devel/configure
The configure step fails with a message
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. See
'config.log' for more details
Looking at config.log, it finds gcc 4.1.2 but fails later on. I've
appended the relevant section of config.log.
Any ideas?

The file is here: http://www.lyx.org/~chr/build-test/config.log
Here is what I think is the relevant bit:
