Check what it says in the output from configure (config.log). You should see the command line (something like gcc -o conftest conftest.c) together with the skeletal program. If there is nothing else that looks informative, copy the program into conftest.c and run the command line to see what error messages you get. You don't say which version of the book you're trying to build, but in the past people have had problems trying to build "old" toolchains using fedora hosts (fedora tends to have the bleeding edge in it).
