Bug 81178 – Cannot emerge ANY ebuild that compiles anything

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Freyr Gunnar Ólafsson 2005-02-07 16:32:35 UTC]

I can compile a kernel and kernel modules without problem!

This is always present:
checking for suffix of executables... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of executables: cannot compile and link

I have already replace gcc and gcc-config with older versions with binary packages from http://dev.gentoo.org/~avenj/

That didn't help :(

It's probably something screamingly obvious, but I thought it best to report it anyways.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge [whatever source package]

Actual Results:  
checking for suffix of executables... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of
executables: cannot compile and link

Expected Results:  
to emerge (compile) and install.

Pleasse attatch /var/tmp/portage/<pachage>/work/<package>/config.log

also, try running this:

# { cat > test.c && gcc test.c -o test && ./test; echo $?; } << EOF
int main() {
return 0;
}
EOF
