unable to compile

I am attempting to compile some stuff but the ./configure command is erroring out with the following error:

checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

config.log has many errors in it similar to these:

configure:4185: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:32: error: #error "You need a ISO C conforming compiler to use the glibc headers"

/lib/cpp is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/cpp
/usr/bin/cpp --version is:
