It looks like you are still grepping the config.log file.  I can't do
anything with that info.  You need to actually read it, or post extracts
from it, to see what the problem is.

This is meaningless without additional context, such as the testcase
used, and the error message emitted.

If "cc -E" (or "gcc -E") doesn't work, then I would suspect there is
something wrong with your system or your setup.  We would need info from
the log file to tell.  Info you haven't provided yet.

Are you using anything that modifies how the compiler works?  There are
some Mac users that use some strange package on top of their compiler,
the name of which I can't remember, but it is known that this package
causes problems, and use of it is not recommended.
