I have tried with both Bash and Dash for a system shell, no error like that:

  [..]
  checking whether ln -s works... yes
  checking whether C compiler accepts -Wparentheses... yes  <--
  checking whether C compiler accepts -Winit-self... yes
  [..]

And the line in file configure looks sane too.

My guess is that either the breakage is outside of httrack and hasn't hit my system yet or you have something crazy like memory corruption from broken hardware, even though that probably sounds crazy and super unlikely.

How should we proceed?  I definitely need some ideas or help here.

Thanks and best, Sebastian

Does

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native -fno-diagnostics-color  -falign-functions=32:25:16"

in make.conf (pls see attached etc.portage,tar.bz2) force it ?

No, just tried.
