iOS How to compile C dylib for iphone?

Here is the situation:
I want to write some C program and run it on iPhone.
iPhone has different CPU than the Mac so I have to use a different compiler to compile the codes. I am not sure but I think xcode uses arm-apple-darwin9-gcc instead of a normal gcc for Mac to compile code so the resulting executable could be run on iPhone.
So anyone could tell me if I want to compile a C program by going through :
./configure > make procedure how could I do it?

You do realise that Apple forbids the use of third party libraries on the iPhone don't you? If you do use a solution I doubt you'll be able to release the app on the App Store.
Well that is my point. No third party libraries at all, even ones written by yourself. I would love to be proved wrong on this as I have a library I would find useful in an iPhone app, but I'm 99% sure that no external libraries are allowed.
So for the official apple store apps, instead of using dylib and frameworks, I have to compile everything in xcode? oh~~~it's a lot of work then.....
But for the hacked iphone and unofficial apps, ppl still can use libraries right?
Do you know how to cross compile iphone program on mac?
here is the command i use to configure the make.
./configure --cross-prefix=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ --enable-cross-compile --cc=arm-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 --arch=armv
It always shows me "C compiler test failed."
I think it is because the code is not compatiable to the compiler right?Anyone could give some hints?
