My"C" Compiled can't compile "{}"

I don't have a Linux,  This code has served me very well for years.  It 
is perfect.  I used to be a developer with Glenn Fowler and nmake 
developing "compiler probe" code for nmake.  If your compiler can't 
compile it, then something is wrong.

I also get error messages about the C compiler with "reconfigure" 
scripts used to reconfigure a makefile.

If someone can advised me of which packages to uninstall, I'll be happy 
to re-install then,
