Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

2020-04-22 15:49:39 UTC

This is an auto-filled bug because dev-libs/elfutils calls cc directly.
The issue was originally discovered on arm64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

NOTE:
To reproduce this issue you may want to temporarily move the /usr/bin/cc - /usr/bin/gcc binaries.

I only see 2 tests trying to access 'gcc':

FAIL: run-strip-nothing.sh
==========================

/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/elfutils-0.179/work/elfutils-0.179/tests/run-strip-nothing.sh: line 26: gcc: command not found
FAIL run-strip-nothing.sh (exit status: 127)

FAIL: run-strip-g.sh
====================

Create debug a.out.
