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!!

atscc

atscc(1)						      General Commands Manual							  atscc(1)

NAME

       atscc - ATS compiler frontend

SYNOPSIS

       atscc [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       atscc is a frontend to the atsopt Anairiats compiler for the ATS language.

OPTIONS

       atscc  has a command-line option syntax in the style of gcc and accepts all the same options, many of them being passed directly to the gcc
       backend.  Here are summarized the non-gcc options.

       -cc, --compile
	      Only compile the given ATS source files into C files.

       -D_ATS_GCATS
	      Enable the garbage collector in the generated executable.

       -IATS <path>
	      Add a path to search for ATS files when doing static and dynamic loads.

       -tc, --typecheck
	      Typecheck the given ATS source files, but go no further.

       --version
	      Show ATS/Anairiats version and gcc version.

EXAMPLES

       atscc -o test -O3 test.dats

       Compile test.dats to an executable named test.  Tell gcc to use the third level of optimization.

       atscc -tc test.dats

       Typecheck test.dats only.

       atscc -o test.o -c test.dats

       Compile test.dats to an object file named test.o.

SEE ALSO

       atsopt(1), atslex(1),
       These programs are documented fully by The ATS/Anairiats user's manual available via the web at http://www.ats-lang.org/

       atscc was written by Hongwei Xi.
