Description Volker Wegert 2014-09-27 15:08:02 UTC 
I'm trying to bootstrap on a current OS X 10.9.5 system with Xcode 6.0.1. This fails with the message

* ready to bootstrap stage3
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
!!! unknown compiler

Searching for "unknown compiler" in the bootstrapping script, I suspect the following passage is the problem:

case "$(gcc --version)" in
        *"(GCC) 4.2.1 "*|*"Apple LLVM version 5."*)
                local linker=sys-devel/binutils-apple
                ;;
        *"(GCC) 4.0.1 "*)
                local linker="=sys-devel/binutils-apple-3.2"
                ;;
        *)
                eerror "unknown compiler"
                return 1
                ;;
esac

The version output seems to have changed in an incompatible way:

$ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.51) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0
Thread model: posix



Reproducible: Always

should be fixed now (redownload bootstrap-prefix.sh script please), thanks!
