[squid-users] ./configure error when install squid 2.5 stable5

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the latest stable build of squid on my redhat 7 box.
Installed latest version of GCC and its associated libraries.
When I run ./configure it gives me the error message below.

[root@squidsey squid-2.5.STABLE5]# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for mawk... no
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot creat
e executables.
[root@squidsey squid-2.5.STABLE5]#

Now the config.log file says this in there somewhere...

configure:1202: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g) works
configure:1218: gcc -o conftest -g conftest.c 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:

I can't find this crt1.o file on my box. I've had a browse on the innernet for some help. They say its a lib file associated to gcc or something to that effect, and find the libgcc rpm and install it, but I'm not convinced....
Anyway, any simple ideas???

Much appreciated..
Braden
