Hi,

I came across with the same problem when i tried to install Gentoo to my laptop -> C Compiler cannot create executables.

I solved it. In my /etc/make.conf file my cpu flag was set to

CFLAGS=*-march=i686-pc-linux-gnu -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer"

it should be

CFLAGS=*-mcpu=athlon-tbird -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer"

that's it...

Good Luck eveybody...

yes, getting your architecture wrong is a definite show stopper.

since you changed two things at once, maybe some clarification is in order. just for reference:

first, i686-pc-linux-gnu is a CHOST setting, not a processor setting. that alone is sufficient to break your compiler.
second, i doubt that changing -march to -mcpu actually fixed the problem. you should be able to use either one.
