We need the config.log, please attach it.
See `config.log' for more details. Thats what portage tells me about this file. So all I know is that it exists. I would like to know where I can actually find it :)

FYI it was not made by me. It was made by distcc. For a reason I have distcc installed but disabled. Shouldn't portage take care of correctly disabling distcc for me (i.e. removing this wrapper) when FEATURES does not contain distcc? Is this enough for another bug report or is it "feature" :)?
Not a matter of disabling distcc, the wrapper shouldn't be there at all, whether distcc is enabled or not. Delete it and try again.
Thanks. It works now.
Thanks for testing.
lisa, at least it's not ccache this time :P *runs*
Not sure how you have this wrapper. distcc-config --install does not install a ${CHOST}-cc symlink.
I may be seeing this issue with 4.3.29-r2. I had the same invalid distcc wrapper the reporter did. equery b showed the symlink owned by no package. I removed it, but I still get the issue. Now, config finds: configure:3459: checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc configure:3475: found /usr/lib/ccache/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc I was thinking of removing the ccache symlink but i'm not sure if I should do that; please let me know. Attaching config.log.

It happened to me as well, but not on a fresh installation. Maybe the wrapper got created in previous versions somehow.
