Aren't binutils and gcc installed on this computer??

Please look at the tracker bug for 'tc-directly': bug 243502. ago likely has gcc-config[-native-symlinks] and binutils-config[-native-symlinks].

What's raison d’être of gcc-config[-native-symlinks] and binutils-config[-native-symlinks]? To make perfectly valid packages fail? I'd think that the development tools should be configured to *maximize* the number of source packages taken from somewhere in the net which compile successfully. Not to *minimize* it.

-native-symlink is a valid simulation to check if a package respect CC,CXX,LD and so on
