compilation error

[SANJEEV]

I have two machine on which I am getting this error. Both machine is Solaris
7 and rsync version I am trying is 2.4.6.
This is the error
"checking whether the C compiler
(gcc -O -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables."

when I saw the config.log file. Both have almost same error.

Machine1/config.log==>
configure:698: checking for gcc
configure:811: checking whether the C compiler
(gcc -O -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  ) works
configure:827: gcc -o conftest -O -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
conftest.c  1>&5
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.0/../../../../sparc-sun-solari
s2.7/bin/ld: cannot open values-Xa.
o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:

#line 822 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}

Machine2/config.log ==>
configure:698: checking for gcc
configure:811: checking whether the C compiler
(gcc -O -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  ) works
configure:827: gcc -o conftest -O -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
conftest.c  1>&5

#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}

Thanks for any help here.
