configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs

I'm trying to install different software onto my Raspberry Pi with Debian Wheezy OS. When I run try to configure software I'm trying to install I get this output 

checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling...  configure: error: in 'directory of where I'm installing the software'
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use '--host'.
See config.log' for more details

So then I check the config log and it basically says the same thing, the only difference is I see there was a segfault when checking whether cross compiling:

configure:3547: checking for suffix of executables
configure:3554: /usr/bin/gcc -o conftest -Wno-long-long    conftest.c  >&5
configure:3558: $? = 0
configure:3580: result: 
configure:3602: checking whether we are cross compiling
configure:3610: /usr/bin/gcc -o conftest -Wno-long-long    conftest.c  >&5
configure:3614: $? = 0
configure:3621: ./conftest
./configure: line 3623:  3679 Segmentation fault    ./conftest$ac_cv_exeext
configure:3625: $? = 139
configure:3632: error: in `/usr/local/src/VALGRIND/valgrind-3.10.1':
configure:3634: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

This error has come up twice now. Once when trying to install Valgrind and once when trying to install libusb.

The output with gcc -v is this:

In my case, the reason was that the version of libasan did not match the version of gcc. Just update the version of libasan.aarch64 to be the same as the gcc version.

[root@node1 isa-l]# cat /etc/os-release

VERSION="22.03 (LTS-SP1)"
ID="openEuler"

I got this exact error. When I looked in config.log I saw the message:

fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory

To fix this, I ran:

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev

I could then configure and compile my program.

The problem here has been resolved by:

export PATH=/path/to/gcc-4.9.2/bin/:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/gcc-4.9.2/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./configure --prefix=/path/to/  --host=arm

Hope this will help you.

On CoreOS, solved the problem with.

install.packages('rgdal', type = "source", configure.args='--host=host')
