Uh, did you actually _bother_ reading the error message before posting
it?  It definitely made a difference.  You got further.  I suggest
fixing the other problems in your build environment now:

    configure:3874: checking whether the C compiler works
    configure:3896: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
    conftest.c:9:0: warning: "PACKAGE_NAME" redefined
     #define PACKAGE_NAME "LilyPond"
     ^
    conftest.c:2:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
     #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
     ^
    /usr/bin/ld: 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: unrecognized 
relocation (0x2a) in section `.init'
    /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    configure:3900: $? = 1
    configure:3938: result: no

You mangled your gcc installation to a degree where compiling and
linking a C binary without any options has become impossible.

Documenting all non-dependencies would be excessive.
