It's worth noting that what it seems that you're doing is nothing to do
with rpm (the package management system) but you're just compiling
blackbox from source. If you can't make the compile work, it could be
worth trying to find a mandrake blackbox rpm (which will end in the
filename extension .rpm).

Well yes, you might find autoconf/automake helpful in here, but it does
look like theres something a bit more fundamental wrong with gcc, possibly
there are bits of it missing.
What does rpm -qa|grep gcc give you?
