Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2020-05-18 11:31:08 UTC
This is an auto-filed bug because dev-lang/perl calls cc directly.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, 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 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc and by removing the /usr/bin/cc - /usr/bin/gcc binaries.

Comment 2 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-05-18 11:38:31 UTC
Important context from QA report:


    ./hints/linux.sh: line 174: gcc: command not found
    Configure: line 6387: nm: command not found
    Configure: line 22940: cpp: command not found

While these aren't fatal for perl's build, like ar, they're likely to lead to bad consequences.

    dev-lang/perl: More TC love for nm/cpp/ranlib re bug #723734
    
    While this won't fix the warnings about hints/linux.sh, as that is
    something too complex for me to trivially fix, it should mitigate the
    warnings about nm and cpp, and additonally, guards against a possible
    future where ranlib is also nuked and later tried to be used from
    $Config{ranlib}

For now, this:
>     ./hints/linux.sh: line 174: gcc: command not found

Seems like a red herring, but the code involved is a bit of a nightmare:


https://metacpan.org/source/SHAY/perl-5.30.2/hints/linux.sh#L166-206

This could *potentially* mess up plibpth computation, and possibly libquadmath support.

The rest are addressed.
