(log supplied offline)  The interesting bits are below, but it looks
like you're trying to build a 64 bit binary against a 32 bit library
(I don't know if centos does anything cute with 64 bit libraries like
stick them in a lib64).  The functions __umoddi3 and friends are
usually provided by libgcc.

My suggestions:
 - tell configure to build a 32 bit binary (./configure --with-cflags=-m32)
 - check that your compiler is installed properly (in particular, that
libgcc.a exists and matches the version of gcc you're trying to use).
 - if you have a lib64, try telling configure to use it (./configure
--with-ldflags=-L/path/to/lib64).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
