THanks Marc;

I looked at the above link. But not able to figure what is
wrong. I see no error in my config.log file, here it is again

http://12000.org/tmp/march_27_2011/

I did clean; ./configure; make and same error.

I am no expert in these things. Anything specific I should
try to do? Any one can see any error in the log file?

I do not need to build gcc 4.6 if I can help it, but
not able to find prebuild one for my system. When I use
synaptic package manager, it does not show gcc 4.6 there,
only 4.4. It uses the Ubuntu repositories. Can't
also find binaries for gcc 4.6 for windows.

Thanks
