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!!

binfmtc-interpreter

binfmtc(1)							     binfmt_C								binfmtc(1)

NAME

       binfmtc-interpreter - binfmt_misc C handler

SYNOPSIS

       binfmtc-interpreter C-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

DESCRIPTION

       binfmtc-interpreter compiles a C source file specified on the command-line using C compiler, and executes the resulting file.

       It  is  designed  to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc handler, which is a system used in Linux for handling arbitrary files as executa-
       bles.

       The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

FILE MAGIC

       There is a requirement for C source files to have the magic characters /*BINFMTC: at the beginning of the file.

       That line also is used to specify the additional command-line options for C compiler.

ENVIRONMENT

       GCC    The compiler used.  The default is to use gcc

       CC     The compiler used, if GCC variable is not set.

       BINFMTCTMPDIR

	      Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

	      Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

       BINFMTC_DEBUG
	      enables debug output if set.

       BINFMTC_GCC_OPTS
	      Additional GCC options.  Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options being passed on to gcc.

	      The default is  -O2 -Wall -g
