Forgot to say that contrary to what the configure system thinks, gcc is not broken. I can compile my own code and other ebuilds.
Please attach the config.log file mentioned in the build log.
Also, try to clear the ccache cache.
Sorry, thought I had them all. ******************** bluey portage # cat /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libnl-3.2.25/work/libnl-3.2.25-abi_x86_64.amd64/config.log This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

OK, I've now disabled ccache, removed it from the FEATURES list, and the ebuild runs successfully. I'm now good to go, but where does that leave the ebuild?
Looks like it is more ccaches fault that anything else. After successfully getting libnl to compile, I reenabled ccache and the next item on the list, libcap-ng-07.4, also failed with the same error,
