Error in configure during glib-2.25.3 installation

[Vinod Parameswaran <vinodp infoscience otago ac nz>]

Hello list,

I have joined recently and would request for your expert opinion on an error that I get, while trying to run the configure script, as part of glib-2.25.3 installation.
   The following is the stderr log upon running configure:
   configure: WARNING: No ANSI prototypes found in library. (-std1 didn't work.)
   configure: error:
   *** GLib requires a 64 bit type. You might want to consider
   *** using the GNU C compiler.
I get the same error even after setting my environment variable CC to point to gcc.

I am trying to install glib-2.25.3 on Fedora core 12. Here are the outputs of the relevant commands:
   uname -a
   Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:25:57 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
   cat /etc/issue
   Fedora release 12 (Constantine)
   Kernel \r on an \m (\l)

  Also, I have appended the complete log below.

Kindly let me know what I should be doing to resolve this error.

Thanks in advance for your time and advice.

regards
Vin
