Subject:	Help! messed up my compiler or libraries with pgcc

I installed RH5.1 fresh a few weeks ago. Recently I got brave and installed
the pgcc 1.03a compiler, from the RH5 rpms on Redhat's site. After toying
with it for awhile I decided to uninstall pgcc. Disaster! I have removed both
the pgcc and egcs RPMS, removed the /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu
directory, ran ldconfig, and now installed the latest egcs1.03a compiler
suite from Redhat's update section. Now I have apparently messed something
up, since nothing that uses a configure script will compile anymore. Help!

Here are a couple of examples (these compiled fine before I messed with the
compilers) :

[root AT syrinx kwave28]# configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for gcc... egcs
checking whether the C compiler (egcs -O2 -Wall -s) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.                 

[root AT syrinx kdebase-1.0]# configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you
must specify one
[root AT syrinx kdebase-1.0]# configure
