Description Martin Wegner 2004-03-06 10:00:12 UTC

I've set up a new gentoo from stage1. when I came to 'emerge system', the emerge of groff-1.19 failed with the configure error "C compiler cannot create executables".

I was able to fix this with running
$ hardened-gcc -R

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge system
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge failed.

Expected Results:  
emerge should not fail

unmerge hardened-gcc
gcc -dumpspecs > $(gcc-config -L)/specs

hardened-gcc is obsolete by now and will be replaced with something more integrated.

thanks,

Alex

Same problem occurs with 2004.0 hardened CD
The fix outlined for 1.4 LiveCD works for me.
