Ubuntu 12.04 - cpuminer compile problem - "C compiler cannot create..."

Quote from: gnarcoinguy on March 22, 2013, 03:45:35 PM

post the output of your config log. And just for shits and giggles try ./configure without any flags to see if you get any different errors.

In its entirety, before trying your suggestion, below:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by cpuminer configure 2.2.3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure CFLAGS=-03

configure: exit 77

After trying your suggestion, I get the following, quite different result (console output). I am not sure whether that means I am good to go. I don't know what the flags meant after ./configure. I am in pure monkey-see monkey-do at this point. Do you think I am good to make?
