Hi everyone,
Have run into difficulty trying to install binutils at the start of LFS
chapter 5. I spent the last two days slowly re-reading up to chapter
five, googling around, and correcting any mistakes I found, but to no
avail. I found plenty online close to describing my specific symptoms,
but nothing that exactly addressed it, or enabled me to figure the
problem out.
First here is the terminal output where I encounter the problem:

Here is the output of version-check.sh. Hopefully I am just including
this for reference/to show everything is ok in this regard...

Finally, here is the config.log mentioned in the terminal. I think I cut
and paste the right bit of it. Overall it was very big and I am not sure
of mailing list etiquette, so tried to just get the relevant bit. I am
confident I have entered any other commands correctly (except that of
course I am having this problem, so...!)

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the book and community
- although I have run into trouble here I think it is going to be of
great help for me.
You posted the configure output, not config.log
config.log is created by the configure script,
not redirecting it's output.
The error in config.log should be after the line:
checking for C compiler default output file name
Copy and paste that part.
Also, do this test:
$ cat > test.c << "EOF"
int
main ()
{
;
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc test.c
You should have an a.out executable.
$ ./a.out
$ echo $?
This should output 0
