compiler configure problems (cross compiling?)

When attempting to compile packages, I am receiving these errors:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables... 
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-procyon/abs-htop/src/htop-1.0.3':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build htop.

I have not changed any cflags or other build variables. Why these errors?

Re: compiler configure problems (cross compiling?)

I should add, this occurred after I restored my system from a backup.
