When cross-compiling dev-lang/python 3.9 or python 3.10, the output shows --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu whereas --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu is inserted earlier. This makes configure fail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install crossdev aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu target 2.build all prerequisites 3.try to cross-compile python Actual Results: emerge output shows:

And yes, that's fine, because the *first* built Python must be for CBUILD and have CBUILD==CHOST. It then builds another one later.

Can you share the config.logs? I tried to build it using `USE="-ncurses" aarch64-unknown-gnu-emerge` but the error message stays the same
Yeah, I need the two config.logs for tt_1s bug. Not related to this one I think now.
as a workaround for now: drop znver from cflags
(In reply to Sam James from comment #11) > as a workaround for now: drop znver from cflags nope, didn't work. Configure fails again. I'll add the second config.log and build.log

Are you setting CC explicitly somewhere in your environment, ditto HOSTCC? (setting CC by itself is OK for me, it seems)

The question is whether you're setting it as a human or if it's accidental, and also why.
In case unclear, HOSTCC being set is overriding the right CC value that it's supposed to use at this step. ebuilds typically don't control variables meant to override things, so it's on you to clear it up /if/ it was actually set by you (e.g. some make.conf or package.env files) environment file just says that it is set, but it doesn't really say where it's from
your idea actually fixes the issue: I used grep -R "HOSTCC" in /etc and /usr/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/etc, and found I set it in /usr/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/etc/portage/make.conf, in a desperate attempt to compile something which reverted to the wrong compiler. Commenting out everything fixed it. Sorry for reporting a bug that was a feature :(
