Huh, OK, I was just surprised by all the "unknown"s --- but on closer
look, a lot of those are clearly only expected to succeed on specific
platforms.

So I think it comes down to "you didn't install a C compiler".  Most
likely there's no development environment at all, and what configure
will complain about next is lack of header files and libraries.
