This is an auto-filed bug because sys-boot/colo 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.
Created attachment 642312 [details] build.log build log and emerge --info
colo (Cobalt Loader) is a small bootloader for old Cobalt RaQ2/Qube2 systems and any issues arising from an attempt to build on any non-MIPS arch is completely invalid. These systems are not really even supported anymore due to limited resources (they max out at 256MB EDO RAM), so I don't know if modern GCC or even clang could compile on them. I have a Qube2 in the closet that I may one day try to resurrect, but I would advise that no one hold their breath waiting.
FWIW, the bug is not invalid. The package shouldn't call cc directly.
(In reply to Matt Turner from comment #3) > FWIW, the bug is not invalid. The package shouldn't call cc directly. Yep. One might want to pass a different GCC version or similar.
Then I'll wait for someone to roll a patch, as this is really far down on my list of priorities at the moment, seeing as I don't even have a working install on cobalt at the moment. That said, the "invalid" marking was more because of the attempt to compile a MIPS bootloader on a non-MIPS arch (amd64) and encountering a problem. Bootloaders are that one class of software that should generally be compiled on the arch they're intended to run on, not by a cross-arch. This only got picked up because of a bug in Agostino's script that was ignoring KEYWORDS="-* <arch>" syntax and attempting to compile such packages.
