Problems installing binfmt-support

Hello all,
i hope i have choosen the right board here. I tried to install the package binfmt-support from AUR but something went wrong and i have problems to identifiy the problem.
when running makepkg -sri i got this output :

checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/home/alex/aur/binfmt-support/src/binfmt-support-2.1.5':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

i hope anybody can give me an hint what i'am missing.
Merry christmas,
Alex

p.s. base-devel is installed :-)

There should be a config.log in binfmt-support/src/binfmt-support-2.1.5 folder,please post it (or put it on a pastebin server if it's large)

Ok issue is solved, installing the glibc package did the job.
In the config.log there was an hint that sys/cdefs.h was missing.
Thanks Lone_Wolf for the hint with config.log!
