[Xen-users] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I am trying to build xen-3.3.0 and I keep running into this error. I  
have checked and everything is there and installed and the PATH is  
correct. I found someone on the 15th who also had the same problem but  
never got a reply back so I am asking again.

Here is the error:

Re: [Xen-users] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I am not a Xen expert; but, I have seen this error when building other
software.

In my case it came down to the version of gcc installed not being able to
generate code for the target (i686-xen-elf in your case).   You might want
to peek in that config.log file and see what gcc command is failing and how.

In my case I was able to change the --target=blah part to match my system,
but I don''t know if that would work for you. You might also want to
make
sure your gcc can compile for i686.
