Trying to install Python with pyenv and getting "error: C compiler cannot create executables" on macOS 11

I uninstalled Python 3.8.2 to reinstall it with tkinter configuration. When I tried to reinstall Python with pyenv, I keep getting the "error: C compiler cannot create executables".

I've seen other people ask a similar question and their problem is usually solved by installing the Xcode command line tools. I have tried this multiple times and it didn't solve the issue. Is there anything else I can try?

What I'm getting for gcc -v seems a little strange, perhaps it's an issue with that?

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
