I think the problem is that every single one of the test compilations produces this error message:

/usr/bin/ld: error in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.2.2/crtend.o(.eh_frame); no .eh_frame_hdr table will be created.

Apparently it is just a warning because the compiler returns status zero anyway, but nonetheless it will confuse our configure script --- in particular, I think what's biting you is that the test to see which threads flags to use can't tell that this isn't a complaint about a bogus thread switch, so it omits to use -pthread which is necessary. There are some other tests that might be going wrong too.

I see that the gcc on my stock Fedora 8 machine is 4.1.2, so I suppose that this 4.2.2 you are using came from someplace other than Red Hat. I fear it's a bit broken :-(
