I saw many possible things to try, but I am not having any luck with them. I think my perfectly working system was hosed by me, during an emerge --depclean when trying to dump this system back to just the OS from a web server with Xorg on it. Just when I thought I had it clean such that an emerge -uDavN world gave me 6 packages to update (GCC 4.2 being one of them) I thought I was home free.. and well.. this:

Code:
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -march=pentium4 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

Here is the log, though the last few lines showing the errors looks a lot like the inline error I posted earlier. I hope I have not missed anything really obvious:

I tried gcc-config -l && gcc-config 1 (as I only have one entry) and env-update, source /etc/profile

Code:

A gentoo-dev buddy of mine slapped me and had me do this:

1. Repeat the phrase "I will not muck with my compiler, I am not worthy."
2. rm /etc/env.d/05compiler (was still referencing some old 4.1ish compiler)
3. gcc-config 1 ; env-update ; source /etc/profile
4. tried compiling, failed again, he had me pull versions on 'gcc' and 'ld', of which ld was NOT FOUND.
5. binutils-config 1 ; env-update ; source /etc/profile
6. ld now found, compiler all better :)

Now, as promised: "I will not muck with my compiler, I am not worthy.."

Thanks all!

I've tried everything, and it still isn't working for me.

I'm trying to build a new system after downloading the stage3 and portage-latest, and the damn thing won't work. Never, ever had this before. I'm guessing the stage3 is borked.

Could you please be a little more descriptive as to what you've tried?
Also it helps to post your error info :wink:


I'd give these options a shot if you haven't already:
  1. Download and use the gcc binary from a BINHOST server.
  2. Alternatively, quickpkg the gcc binary from a LiveCD

I meant everything suggested here :)

Anyway, I re-downloaded the stage3, and this was where the problem lied. Obviously it didn't download properly the first time, which was why I ended up with the failure. When I extracted the second one I downloaded, it allowed me to continue normally with the system.

However, I then came across another problem, since I was building it inside a vmware machine on an AMD Athlon 64 X2, and it kept complaining of NFS errors when trying to mount root, and my kernel was compiled correctly. I gave up on this in the end, as it was taking too much of my time up. Even the backup of the old system to the new, with recompiled kernel was failing. The vmware was using a PCI-X Fusion, and I had PCI-X and the Fusion driver compiled into the kernel. I was using 32 bit, not 64 bit in the vm, and the machine I was migrating.

Here's my make.conf. It's worked for years. I thought at one point that I needed a newer version of gcc. I tried emerging it and it failed. Then I found out that my proc didn't support gcc4.1.2 (well, according to the forum I was on).

You need to at least upgrade gcc to 3.4.x since portage no longer supports <3.3.x.
Then emerge libstdc++-v3 for gcc-3.3.x support.

Neddy explains it in: can't compile gcc-3.3.6-r1

Hi.

I cannot emerge anything anymore, tried basically everything, last attempt was as dc46and2 suggested, dl stage3, build system in chroot and then emerge -aek system. I had to build some additional packages in chroot for this to work, but in the end it emerged whole system from prebuild packages in chroot.

But still nothing is changed. No matter what I build, I get die "econf failed", and in log there are different types of errors:

Code:

gcc looks fine:

Any help much appreciated, have no idea what else to try.

Hi.

i got quite the same problem as Thunrida but with gcc-version 3.4.6, the hardened-profile and -march set to pentium-m. I also do not know what else to try.

After reading some logfiles i found this in /etc/log/emerge.log

It seems to got something to do with the update of gcc-config while after that update nothing could be compiled anymore.
Downgrading to the prior version does not work as i can't compile anything ...

Tryed every *fast* solution mentioned here...no good :-(

One thing i noticed is that almost all of you seem to get this situation during a large update , after emerging gcc or binutils or only for a certain package.
But i simply reemerged some bluez utils and librarys...many times...and at one point gcc just gave me the sick error that tells me absolutley nothing...
I realy have no idea how this happend...i did not change make.conf, i did not emerge any sort of system package, i have only(no 3. something) gcc 4.1.2 installed....very confusing...
Doublechecked that all the paths in env.d/05.. are there and are the only options at all...

It seems that reinstalling stage3 from a chroot seems the most tempting way at the moment...since i just finished configuring and compiling my laptop :evil:

Yes, the log makes a compelling case for a gcc-config bug

Try forcing the config files to be regenerated and see it that fixes it for you.
Code:
gcc-config -f
That command worked for a vaguely similar gcc-config bug 203869

Okay, here is something new to try for you guys.
My error is slightly different:
"configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables"
it is the C++ that is complaining

When i just ran cpp program then it gave me an error like this
Code:

cpp

"cc1: error: /usr/local/include: not a directory"

If he does not like a file then i shall give him a folder!!! :twisted:

Code:

mv /usr/local/include /usr/local/include.bu
mkdir /usr/local/include


So far everything seems to be working

It should always have been a directory - what was it instead?

this :-)

This is a smartcard readers drivers work.
I have installed this reader earlyer too, but it did not screw up anything so i did not suspect it.
Funny....why would it do such a thing :-S

well.. i think i got it...

the solution with the "gcc-config -f"-command does not worked for me first...

i deleted/moved the config-* files in /etc/env.d/gcc and done "gcc-config -f" again...
it seems to work now... thank you om :)

well.. in fact i don't know if that helped... i played around much at /etc/env.d/ before it really worked again... but i think that this are the relevant steps i did (i hope).

I know this is 13 months late but I just had this problem See: http://www.niftiestsoftware.com/?p=19

when emerging db and it turned out to be /usr/lib64/distcc/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-cc causing the problem with gcc 4.2.3 after an upgrade from gcc-3.4.

The solution was

Code:
rm /usr/lib64/distcc/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-cc

Now, as promised: "I will not muck with my compiler, I am not worthy.."

Thanks all!

Step 5 here fixed the issue for me after I screwed everything up with an emerge --depclean. GCC is now able to recompile, and is doing so as I type this in a chroot :) .Thank you.

Just an FYI that after trying several things in this 7 page topic to no avail, I found that my /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ directory was full of broken symlinks, which explained why gcc was complaining about not finding "as":

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar  6 07:47 2.18


That 2.17 directory didn't exist since I had upgraded to 2.18. Not sure why the symlinks didn't get updated, but regardless, I made a symlink from the 2.18 directory to the 2.17 directory and re-emerged binutils 2.18. It seems to have updated the symlinks properly this time, so I could then safely remove the /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.17/ symlink.

Code:
ln -s /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.18 /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.17


Hope this helps someone!

Only for another version of this ambiguous error that I solved and may help someone.

I just installed a base gentoo system on a Via C3 mini-itx board, using the 2008.0 beta2 minimal x86 cd.
After the first boot and configuring the new system I changed CFLAGS and CHOST to best adapt to my board, but I mistyped some letters, so during
Code:
# emerge -1v binutils gcc glibc

emerge stopped at gcc compile with the error in subject. The problem was that I rebuild binutils with wrong CFLAGS and gcc was no more able to compile because binutils was corrupted. Without gcc working, it is not possible to rebuild binutils, so the only solution I found (other than reinstall) was to recover the original files from the stage used for installation and manually change the links to the correct programs under /usr/bin.

In my case the files to recover are those related to binutils package under
Code:
/usr/i486-pc-linux-gnu/
/usr/share/binutils-data/i486-pc-linux-gnu/
/usr/lib/binutils/i486-pc-linux-gnu/
/etc/env.d/binutils
