Yes.  It indicates that your C compiler can't link together a program.

I don't know if there was a problem during the MkLinux installation, but
the end result certainly can't link together a program.

I can't diagnose the problem (I don't have any MkLinux experience).  You
might try contacting a MkLinux support group (e.g. a Usenet newsgroup).
