Bug 562182 – dev-lang/ocaml: hardcodes CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS used during build-time

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

And now random packages fail to build trying to use this no-longer-existent gcc version.

Oh, it's also included in executables. Really awesome.

[Comment 2 Alexis Ballier 2015-10-04 09:06:59 UTC]

yes, it is known and documented by upstream: feel free to poke them about hardcoding it in Makefile.config and other places and if there's a way to make it dynamic, but I doubt this will be changed.



On the other hand, you seem to have messed up $CC: it uses tc-getCC & friends, which here is x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc and I've never seen it using versionned $CC...

No, I haven't 'messed it up'. I am using the only CC that makes sense in distcc environment.
