Please do as configure tells you: "See 'config.log' for more details."

(In your case, it's probably
media/professional/rtems/b-sis/sparc-rtems4.9/c/config.log)

It means what it says: The compiler, the configure script is trying to
run (above: sparc-rtems4.9-gcc) "doesn't work".

The reasons for why it finds the compiler to "not working" are manifold.
config.log normally contains a log of the actual breakdown, which would
provide further hints on the cause.
