Please install a C compiler and try again.
*Do* you have a C compiler installed? You're going to need one anyway, in order to build bash, so you might as well make sure of that now. The code that tries to find a C compiler, looks for it under the names "cc", "gcc", "c89", and "c99", in that order. Check not only that it's installed, but that it *works*; for instance, your problem could be that you have the compiler but not all of the C library, and so it can't actually produce executables. zw @config-patches at large: maybe the "unable to guess system type" diagnostics should report on the availability of a C compiler in detail, as well as what they already produce?
