Compiling Super Smack on Solaris 10

I have been trying to compile super-smack, a benchmarking tool for MySQL, on a Solaris 10 box but compiling super-smack fails with the following message(s):

###################
[root@db:/home/me/benchmarking/super-smack-1.3] ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no

checking for sh... /bin/bash
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Now that main question is why is it complaining about C compiler not being able to create executables and what can be done about it?

Following are excerpts from the config.log

Now I need to investigate as to why this is happening.
