Can't setup cross-compiler

[HittmanA]

I follow all the instructions (I even tried the updated ones) and I get this:

checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin16.0.0
checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin16.0.0
checking target system type... i386-pc-elf
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/bin/sed
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking for gcc... /usr/local/bin/gcc-6.3.0_1
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: in `/tmp/src/binutils-build':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

How do I fix this?

Could you attach the config.log file?

Sorry, technical feedback for installing the C compiler is out of the scope of this tutorial. Thanks for your interest, I hope you got your problem solved!

Adding sudo solves this
