Description Hari Sekhon 2007-11-15 16:50:25 UTC
Configure fails before compile of glibc stating that gcc may be too old. Did an update world so system is fresh, latest stable gcc on hardened which is 3.3.6

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge glibc
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
checking whether autoconf works... yes
configure: error:
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.
 * 
 * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *            ebuild.sh, line 1701:  Called dyn_compile

 *    src_compile.eblit, line   97:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *      "${S}"/configure ${myconf} || die "failed to configure glibc"
 *  The die message:
 *   failed to configure glibc
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1/temp/build.log'.
 * 


Expected Results:  
compiled and merged

Latest stable on hardened is 3.4.6-r2; gcc-3.3.x is completely unsupported.
Comment 2 Hari Sekhon 2007-11-15 17:33:08 UTC
OK sorry I had the latest gcc but forgot to manually upgrade the thing so emerge was still using 3.3.6.
