Comparing your output with mine, here are the most worrisome
differences:

If libtool determines that you are not using GNU ld, something is seriously
wrong.

Now this is completely bogus, since gcc does not support this option:

  $ gcc -m elf_x86_64 hello.c
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-m’


To me it looks like you specified a linker named 'gcc' (either through
some command-line variable, environment variable, or option). That cannot
work and caused the other problem.
