Yeah, it means (most likely) that you don't have a libc.a (or .so) for
your target. Check config.log in the directory to be sure. I had this
problem too. If you *do* have libc available, your will want to use
--with-libs=... to say where it is.

Only for *compiling*, not linking. This is one of the reasons I suspect
it's the lack of a libc (the other is experience:)
