On RH6.x you should have installed the following packages:
binutils
cpp            <-- often forgotten
egcs
glibc-devel    <-- ditto

And additionally for C++:
egcs-c++
libstdc++
libstdc++-devel

And don't forget there are actually 2 compilers available on RH6.x, 
gcc-2.7.2 and egcs-1.1.2. I think by default gcc is linked to gcc-2.7.2, 
you can check with "gcc -v" and "egcs -v". If only the latter works, try 
running your configure script with:

   CC=egcs ./configure ....
