This is an auto-filled bug because dev-util/perf calls cc directly. The issue was originally discovered on arm64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well. If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it. Attached build log and emerge --info. NOTE: If you think it doesn't make sense fix these type of issues, I'd like to point out that won't be possible use a different CC implementation (like clang) by setting the CC variable. So this issue has been reproduced by setting the CC variable to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc and by removing the /usr/bin/cc - /usr/bin/gcc binaries.

Probably similar to bug #725878 where kernel-2.eclass was not setting HOSTCC. perf might need a bit more tweaking.
Looks like the only things needed are: - HOSTCC - HOSTLD - NM This patch gives me perf: --- a/dev-util/perf/perf-5.6.14.ebuild +++ b/dev-util/perf/perf-5.6.14.ebuild @@ -153,7 +153,8 @@ perf_make() { # FIXME: NO_CORESIGHT # FIXME: NO_LIBBABELTRACE emake V=1 VF=1 \ - CC="$(tc-getCC)" CXX="$(tc-getCXX)" AR="$(tc-getAR)" LD="$(tc-getLD)" \ + HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" HOSTLD="$(tc-getBUILD_LD)" \ + CC="$(tc-getCC)" CXX="$(tc-getCXX)" AR="$(tc-getAR)" LD="$(tc-getLD)" NM="$(tc-getNM)" \ PKG_CONFIG="$(tc-getPKG_CONFIG)" \ prefix="${EPREFIX}/usr" bindir_relative="bin" \ EXTRA_CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" \
