PHP PDO_ODBC configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables - php

Question

I am trying to install PHP PDO_ODBC which i downloaded from PECL and i get the following error while running the configure command using
./configure --with-apxs=/opt/lampp/bin/apxs --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php-config --with-pdo-odbc=ibm-db2,/opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/
I am running the command as root and i am on a
Linux trisquel6 3.2.0-52-generic-pae #0trisquel1 SMP Thu Aug 22
22:04:28 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
My config.log file is pasted below
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 2.68. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php-config --with-pdo-odbc=ibm-db2,/opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/

The answer to this question is provided in this link
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables when installing Ruby 1.9.3
doing
sudo apt-get install clang
and then
./configure --with-apxs=/opt/lampp/bin/apxs --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php-config --with-pdo-odbc=ibm-db2,/opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/ --with-gcc=clang
Works perfectly!
