libstdc++ is missing.  Normally, the final link is done by g++, which
automatically includes it, but you have explicitly set CXX to be gcc.

You should either not set CXX before running configure, or set it to
g++ (or c++, unless that is the name of some other C++ compiler ahead
of g++ in your path).
