MSYS: Error c compiler cannot create executables - c

Question

I'm trying build libxml2 on MinGW following this tutorial. But when I run /.configure on MSYS terminal I get:
./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/c/Users/name/Documents/libxml2-2.4.25-special/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/c/Users/name/Documents/libxml2-2.4.25-special/missing --help' for more i nformation
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables eate executables
check `config.log' for details.
I'd tried by setting 755 on libxml2 directory, but nothing changed.
How to fix this?
EDIT the config.log file:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.54. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure

Answer 1

The solution:
The problem was in a new MinGW version that I'd installed(4.7). This version version aren't compiling any C code for me. Then, when the MSYS installation asked "do you have mingw installed?"I typed: "n". So, by using older gcc version I was able to compiler a C program and then run the ./configure and make files.
