wine users - May 2008 - Noob trying to ./configure Wine source, config.log error

I've been searching here and at the ubuntu forums and can't seem to find
a solution, I think it's pretty simple though.  I've checked for libc6
and libc6-dev and they both appear to be installed, IIRC they fixed a previous
./configure issue I had with some other source.

mason at mason-desktop:~/Desktop/wine-1.0-rc1$ ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc -m32
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

All I'm really trying to do it compile the dinput_test file from
dlls/dinput/test and I am not very experienced at compiling, likely missed
something basic.  What I concluded is that I need to configure from the root of
the source before I'll be able to compile the dinput_test, which may be a
bad conclusion :)

This is the top of the config.log:

Thanks in advance for any info, sorry if I left something important out.

Use 
Code:
./configure --verbose

 instead.

You need to install 32 bit libraries in order to build Wine.  This is 
discussed in the building Wine on 64 bit Linux instructions in the 
Developer documentation.

woops I missed that line, reading now

Success, thanks again.
