It would be good if we could see a copy of config.log.
Install.log is over 25K lines, too large for posting.

A likely candidate for the build failure is that the version of GCC on
your system is too old. This snippet is from the beginning of the
install log you posted:

If you are unable to upgrade your system or your system's version of
GCC, I'm not sure how to help. Perhaps someone else could help out.
A later version of Sage will in fact exit at this point, though it is possible
to override it by setting an environment variable SAGE_USE_OLD_GCC (or some name
like that).
But basically, that version of gcc is too old.
However, it should be possible to build a later gcc with that version of gcc. I
have built the latest gcc (4.4.3) on Solaris using the gcc 3.4.3 supplied by
Sun, which is even older. So 3.4.6 should build 4.4.3 without any trouble.
One can always use:
./configure --prefix=/my/home/directory/gcc-4.4.3
and then gcc will be installed at /my/home/directory/gcc-4.4.3/bin/gcc.
It would be wise to add /my/home/directory/gcc-4.4.3/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
That would not need root access to do any of this.
