cannot create executables
I am trying to install PROFTPD-1.2.7 on a SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 Server with a gcc-2.95.2 installed the VOLS files from http://www.caldera.com/skunkware.

The problem I am having is when I try to run ./configure in the proftpd directory I get this error:
# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6
checking host system type... i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6
checking target system type... i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables.

So I then searched here for the message here seeing if anyone has had this problem before and posted it. This is the best one I found but I don't quite understand what I am supposed to do.

https://www.unix.com/showthread.php?s...te+executables

I then went to http://gcc.gnu.org/ to download the source for gcc.
I could not find anything that said anything about it being the source code. So I downloaded gcc-3.2.1.tar.gz and I could not install the program because my gcc compiler does not work.
When I go to configure the new gcc I get this:

# ./configure
Configuring for a i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6 host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava
(Any other directories should still work fine.)
Created "Makefile" in /usr/scott/gcc-3.2.1 using "mh-frag"
cc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
*** The command '/usr/bin/cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

What else can I try to fix this?
What is going wrong with my Gcc compiler?
When I type in gcc I get this
# gcc
gcc: No input files
So it seems to be installed and working sort of.

Thanks in advance!!

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

hardened-cc

HARDENED-CC(1)							 Debian GNU/Linux						    HARDENED-CC(1)

NAME

       hardened-cc - gcc wrapper to enforce hardening toolchain improvements

SYNOPSIS

       export DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1

       gcc ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  hardened-cc  wrapper  is  normally	used by calling gcc as usual when DEB_BUILD_HARDENING is set to 1. It will configure the necessary
       toolchain hardening features. By default, all features are enabled. If a given feature does not work correctly and needs  to  be  disabled,
       the corresponding environment variables mentioned below can be set to 0.

ENVIRONMENT

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1
	      Enable hardening features.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1
	      Print the full resulting gcc command line to STDERR before calling gcc.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_STACKPROTECTOR=0
	      Disable stack overflow protection. See README.Debian for details.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_RELRO=0
	      Disable read-only linker sections. See README.Debian for details.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_FORTIFY=0
	      Don't fortify several standard functions. See README.Debian for details.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_PIE=0
	      Don't build position independent executables. See README.Debian for details.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_FORMAT=0
	      Disable unsafe format string usage errors. See README.Debian for details.

NOTES

       System-wide settings can be added to /etc/hardening-wrapper.conf, one per line.

       The  real gcc symlinks are renamed gcc.real, and a diversion is registered with dpkg-divert(1).	Thus hardened-cc's idea of the default gcc
       is dictated by whatever package installed /usr/bin/gcc.
