emake failure: unable to install packages

[thorlacius]

Something like this happens when I try to merge /any/ package. Can't upgrade because of this.

[Sadako]

You have -march=intel64 in your CFLAGS, which isn't a valid arch setting, and when you see "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" it's usually caused by something like this.

Interestingly, you have a more appropriate setting in CXXFLAGS...

You should change them in /etc/make.conf to the following;

Thanks!

I thought GCC had different optimizations for Intel's x86_64.

[Hu]

It might, but you need to use a valid -march to specify such. Possible values include nocona, core2, and atom. There may be others. New -march values are added over time, so not all values will be available in older versions of gcc. Your version should understand core2, but I do not think it will understand atom.
