Hello,

I've setup a new gentoo on my AMD64 system with an install-amd64-minimal-2007.0.iso. It is
ds9 ~ # uname -a
Linux ds9 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 26 00:36:53 CEST 2007 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I have emerged a few packages but have a problem compiling the glibc, that pointed me to a compiler problem. So I tried to emerge the gcc first.
"emerge gcc". It runs for while but somewhere bails out with

Code: Select all

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

My make.profile is /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop.

I've found some hints to a problem like that on the net but they all are from the year 2005, no one seems to have that problem recently. What could be the problem here?

See [IG7] cannot run C compiled programs (AMD64).

That's what I wrote about, it's from the year 2005. I tried it and it didn't make any difference.

And: The topic you mentioned refers to another topic. In that topic people wrote about a bug, but that bug was fixed a long time ago and should be no problem any longer.

Did you check IA32 Emulation / IA32 a.out support in your kernel?

Okay, let's see what's really going on, then. Look in "/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2/work/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" and find the "config.log" file and see what the exact failure is. Towards the end of the config.log will be output relevant to the failure.

And please post the output of emerge --info too.

I'm currently reading and testing http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189764 . It might fit to my problem. I'll post results.

Ok, that did it. The flaky kernel config is a copied config from my alternative x86 gentoo installation.

Thanks to Macrobiotus and the others.

I don't mean to open a dead thread, but I'm having this problem now. So far for sandbox and wine.
