I've seen that problem.  Of course I can't manage to remember the exact
fix.  It is because you haven't installed something or other required
for building gcc.  Looking at my notes I suggest you try installing the
rpms (assuming you are on an rpm based version of Linux) for glibc-devel
and kernel-headers.  For RedHat 6.0 the files are glibc-devel-
2.1.1-6.rpm and kernel-headers-2.2.5.-15.  Come back if that doesn't
work and I'll scratch my head harder.
