        i have also a slackware 9 installed and tried to update my old
        nano 1.0.? to the lastest version and it builds without any
        problem

        here is my log for this part:

Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2
configure:2033: $? = 0
configure:2035: gcc -V </dev/null >&5
gcc: argument to `-V' is missing
configure:2038: $? = 1

configure:2065: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
configure:2068: $? = 0
configure:2114: result: a.out

        so it cant find crt1.o? that is why its failing...

 $ fgrep crt1.o /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/glibc-2.3.1-i386-3:usr/lib/crt1.o

        so looks like you are missing glibc?!?!  
        and you are _running_ slackware?!
        now that is a wierd thing!! 8)

        did you deleted some files to try to save space?
        did you boot the machine once, so the ldconfig on the
        boot scripts could run and update the library cache?

        if the above tips failled, do this:

        try to copy this to a file and compile it with "gcc file.c"
        it should fail (as failled here)
        the run the same thing with a "strace -efile gcc file.c"

        try to see if this way tells you why is failing

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a 
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are 
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in every country.
