broken ports

I tried running portupgrade as root user, not sudo, and no success.
The bottom line is
--->  Packages processed: 2 done, 69 ignored, 133 skipped and 28 failed

I think the most pressing issue is that I am not able to compile. I
have watched the output periodically and I saw a lot of configure
errors. Picking one at random this is the config.log (grub) file, the
error being "compiler is unable to create executables" exit 77:

I think if this were to be solved then my ports would be unbroken!

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by GRUB configure 0.97, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.62.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/share --prefix=/usr/local
--mandir=/usr/local/man --infodir=/usr/local/info/
--build=i386-freebsd-freebsd7.0
