Tried emerge -uD world, the first package the system tried to build was linux-headers-2.6.11 which failed (messages follow). Then tried emerge =sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 thinking it might be a problem with just 2.6.11 - the result was the same (as shown below in results) It seems like something is calling /var/tmp/portage/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2/work/linux-2.6.8.1/scripts/gcc-version.sh with an argument of i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc rather than just gcc (or whatever the actual call should be) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uD world (or system or gcc or gentoo-sources) 2. 3.

if i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc doesnt work, then something is broken on your system you should run `gcc-config` and see if that helps
That's exactly the right thing - sorry for the bother.
