First, to replicate this, you must undo some silly things done by gcc: > rm /usr/bin/c99 > rm /usr/bin/c89 As these are wrapper scripts installed in gcc's post_inst which are *also* broken because internally, they just invoke "gcc", which doesn't exist ( bug #728722 ) And then, also, you must make sure you purge ccache shadows > eselect compiler-shadow clean all Otherwise, configure will see a c99 in PATH and go "Yep, we can use that", without ever testing it works, and later failing in compilation, such as: > make[2]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-3.0.11/work/vlc-3.0.11/src' > Makefile:3707: warning: ignoring prerequisites on suffix rule definition > Makefile:3711: warning: ignoring prerequisites on suffix rule definition > rm -f -- "../include/vlc_about.h.tmp" > rm -f -- fourcc_gen > rm -f -- revision.tmp > c99 -I. -o fourcc_gen misc/fourcc_gen.c > if ! git \ > --git-dir="../.git/" describe \ > --tags --long --match '?.*.*' --always; then \ > cat ./revision.txt ; \ > fi > revision.tmp > ccache: error: Could not find compiler "c99" in PATH > make[2]: *** [Makefile:3719: fourcc_gen] Error 1 > make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... > mkdir -p -- ../include Or > make[2]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-3.0.11/work/vlc-3.0.11/src' > Makefile:3707: warning: ignoring prerequisites on suffix rule definition > Makefile:3711: warning: ignoring prerequisites on suffix rule definition > rm -f -- "../include/vlc_about.h.tmp" > rm -f -- fourcc_gen > rm -f -- revision.tmp > c99 -I. -o fourcc_gen misc/fourcc_gen.c > mkdir -p -- ../include > if ! git \ > --git-dir="../.git/" describe \ > --tags --long --match '?.*.*' --always; then \ > cat ./revision.txt ; \ > fi > revision.tmp > (echo "/* Automatically generated file - DO NOT EDIT */" && \ > echo "static const char psz_license[] =" && \ > sed 's/"/\\"/g;s/^.*$/\"&\\n\"/' "../COPYING" && \ > echo ";" && \ > echo "static const char psz_thanks[] =" && \ > sed '/\$Id:/d;s/"/\\"/g;s/<.*.> //;s/^.*$/\"&\\n\"/' \ > "../THANKS" && \ > echo ";" && \ > echo "static const char psz_authors[] =" && \ > sed '/\$Id:/d;s/"/\\"/g;s/<.*.> //;s/^.*$/\"&\\n\"/' \ > "../AUTHORS" && \ > echo ";") >> "../include/vlc_about.h.tmp" > /usr/bin/c99: line 21: exec: gcc: not found _Only_ then can you see the proper failure in configure. checking for bison... bison -y checking for desktop-file-validate... desktop-file-validate checking for c11-gcc... no checking for c11... no checking for c99-gcc... no checking for c99... no configure: error: Cannot find native C99 compiler: please define BUILDCC.
