checking for suffix of object file

["Jerin Joy" <jerinjoy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to build gcc 4.3.1 on Linux. The configure works. 'make'
dies with the error:

checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot
compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
See `config.log' for more details.
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/import/dtg-data20/jj155244/tools/gcc-4.3.1'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
