Thanks for providing the log. It appears that configure picks up
the internal version of GCC that is used by ODB:

/opt/odb-2.3.0-x86_64-linux-gnu/lib/odb/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin/gcc

And it does this because you have added its directory to your PATH:

PATH: /opt/odb-2.3.0-x86_64-linux-gnu/lib/odb/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin

This should not be necessary and is generally a bad idea since it
"hides" your system GCC. Any reason why you went to the trouble
of finding and adding this directory to PATH?
