Look at my previous post:

I have tried to compil with a mac port of gcc 4.4 but configure report  
an error (about the linker):

checking whether target compiler is working... no
configure: error: cannot compile for the target

and if i look into the config.log it's because it use the default  
apple linker tool witch don't recognize some arguments:

configure:5882: gcc-mp-4.4 -o conftest -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wpointer- 
arith -Wmissing-prototypes  -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -g -Os -falign- 
jumps=1 -falign-loops=1 -falign-functions=1 -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -m32 - 
fno-stack-protector -mno-stack-arg-probe -nostdlib -Wl,-- 
defsym,___main=0x8100   -m32 conftest.c  >&5
ld: unknown option: --defsym
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
