10.8 ./configure error: "C compiler cannot create executables"

Look alive headscratchers, trying to custom-build Apache to use the mpm=worker option but getting this error:



checking for gcc... /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.8.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: in `httpd-2.2.22': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.

Any update on this compiling problem? Suggestions? Should I hack the configure file?

Guess I should have looked at the log file:
