I have sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.17 I cannot emerge some packages (eg: vmware-modules, which dies with 'ACCESS VIOLATION') so I want to upgrade. I try to upgrade to a higher sandbox, but get the error "configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

../sandbox-1.2.18.1//configure: line 2353: ./a.out: cannot execute binary file Are you by any chance using ACLs on /var/tmp or is noexec enabled?

Could you please post the entire sys-apps/sandbox build log?
I'm ruling out bug #216793 and bug #227947. Bug #227947 and bug #202811 look similar because of: 'configure:1942: checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc' Do you have anything called /usr/bin/i686-* ?

I have the same problem on one of my machines (amd64). I can confirm that /var/tmp is *not* mounted noexec and that ACLs are not in use. I can also confirm that something like: echo 'int main(void) { return 0; }' > foo.c gcc foo.c ./a.out works correctly as root.
Anyone looking at this or should I rebuild my entire system?
I'm done waiting for a response... five weeks is long enough. I'm zapping the system in question for a total rebuild (there goes another two days). Do hope the bug eventually gets solved... :( This has to go in the 'worst gentoo experience yet' basket.
After some judicious strace usage, and help from IRC, I found that gcc was creating a 32-bit ELF executable which was being run as part of configure. If the kernel option CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is set to N then this of course fails as the kernel can't run 32-bit executables. The solution is either to enable CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION or to use a no-multilib profile (which would cause sandbox to be compiled without 64-bit executables). You cannot mix and match the two.
if you use a multilib profile you had better well make sure your kernel is properly configured
