configure:3486: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3508: cc -O2 -pipe -march=k8 -fno-strict-aliasing   conftest.c  >&5

Something is wrong with your gcc:

cc: specs file malformed after 3 characters
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
configure:3512: $? = 1
configure:3550: result: no
configure: failed program was:

Reinstall it.  In fact, it might be a good idea to do a
make buildworld;make installworld.
