Please, send the output of:

uname -a
gcc --version

commands. 

If you assume that there is some bug in MySQL code, please, make sure it is repeatable with a recent version, 5.1.63.

gcc 4.2.1 should work OK for building 5.1.x. Please, upload config.log file created.

Had you tried to build recent version, 5.1.63? Had you tried to build with different --prefix value, like some subdirectory of your home directory?

i got error in config.log like 

configure:3707: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
as: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.17.50.0.6-14.el5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
configure:3711: $? = 1

Can you please give me suggestion

I do not see any evidence of any bug in MySQL code so far. Bugs system is not the best place to ask for help to fix your OS and building environment.
