When trying to upgrade sandbox (from 1.2.5-r1 to 1.2.7), I get the following error. Something similar happened in 1.2.5, and was solved in r1. I'm marking this as a blocker, because it's the first package that portage tries to upgrade. All others fail. (snip) checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. !!!

Not sure why it goes into /var/tmp/portage/sandbox-1.2.7/work/sandbox-1.2.7-x86, and not into amd64 subdir. The error seems to be there.
Just a wild guess, but try commenting out the CBUILD in you make.conf.
I have no CBUILD in my make.conf, and also, couldn't find any CBUILD in /etc/make.profile. However, it IS in emerge info. From where it comes, I don't know.
Sorry, in the middle of all messages there was this: * If configure fails with a 'cannot run C compiled programs' error, try this: * FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox Tried it and it worked. Perhaps this should be a default for this package? Anyway, the issue is solved here. I'm marking the bug as resolved.
