This is usually the result of an inconsistent environment or
improper use of environment variables.  In particular, CC should
be the name of the C translator (normally 'cc' or 'gcc').  If
you need to pass arguments to the C translator, use CFLAGS.

config.log should provide details regarding the tests which
resulted in the above message.

-ansi is generally not needed.  -pedantic should only be used
by developer's actively detecting and removing lint.  And the
options, if desired, should be specified using CFLAGS, e.g:
        env CC=gcc CFLAGS="-ansi -pedantic" ./configure ...

As far as the compile warnings/errors you were seeing, I suggest
trying without "-ansi -pedantic".
