While running configure for glibc-2.7 I run into an error early on.

I have not deviated from the instructions presented in the book, including the application of patches and building in an external directory.
The host system is a full Slackware 12.2 install, and all of the dependencies presented at the beginning of the book are met.
To me, it seems like the static gcc from the previous step was not installed properly, but I also followed that step to the 't' without error.
How could I remedy this?
