Bug 91342 – gcc installation problem or missing component ?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description romain 2005-05-03 12:31:58 UTC]

I tryed today to update my computer and run on seripus problem with gcc.

When I tried to compile anything I have the following message when trying to update bin utils :

checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=k8 -O2 -pipe ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

when i tried to build ncurses :
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-glibc': machine `x86_64-unknown-linux' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4.20050319/work/ncurses-5.4/config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux-glibc failed.

So i thought that something was wrong with my glibc so i tried to rebuild it
didn' worked out :

checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot compute 
f object files: cannot compile

So i don't know if it's my conf or a bug any help would be greatly appreciate.

From the second log file, it looks like you lost your symlinks in /usr/bin for, at least, as.  I have this:
addr2line -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-addr2line
ar -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar
as -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-as
c++filt -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-c++filt
gprof -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gprof
ld -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ld
nm -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-nm
objcopy -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy
objdump -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-objdump
ranlib -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib
readelf -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-readelf
size -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-size
strings -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strings
strip -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip

Right the symlinks are gone ... don't know how it happen.

i have tryied to recreate and it seems to work out. I'll try dig a little more and report back ...

Ok the fie correct most of the bugs but I still have issue with gcc when trying to compile it with multilib support I get the following error :

/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../libc.so when searching for -lc
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lc


It seems ld ignore my libc ... i don't know why ...

If anyone has the same problem than the answer is here
http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg01253.html

quoting :
"
I had that same problem. I had to re-emerge emulx-linux-x86-glibc under
the 2004.3 profile, then re-emerge glibc and gcc.. then I started the
upgrade tutorial.  Granted I never figured out the exact reason for my
problem, that seemed to fix it.
