To clarify: the original problem of upgrading libtool and libedit and installing openssh due to readline being linked to the old ncurses has been resolved by upgrading readline. You are now experiencing a new unrelated problem, with libgcc.

No need: Everything you would see using the -d flag is already contained within the main.log file you uploaded.

It looks like the relevant error message in the log is:

:info:build configure: error: computing SEEK_CUR failed

Unfortunately, I don't know why computing SEEK_CUR failed. Several previous configure script runs in your log file show that it was able to determine that the value of SEEK_CUR is 1, so nothing should have needed to be computed.
