Uhm, does /lib/cpp exist? If yes, we'll need the full log attached, as the message told you.
/lib/cpp didn't exist. findcruft was a bit overzealous. I remerged gcc and all is good now. Thanks and sorry for posting a trivial bug.
(In reply to comment #2) > findcruft was a bit overzealous. Eh, it indeed shouldn't wipe links created by gcc-config. Thanks for reporting back.
