 |

Last night I ran "emerge --update --blah blah world" and it failed at dev-libs/expat. Looking at the build logs, there was a horrible message configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. There are lots of explanations of what to do when you have a broken C compiler in Gentoo, but I could see I'd successfully compiled stuff recently.
I looked for any relevant Gentoo bugs. There is one: dev-libs/expat-2.2.1 configure failure with app-shells/dash as /bin/sh. And yes, I am using dash. So the bypass is to
| Code: | eselect sh list
eselect sh set n ## for appropriate n to get bash
emerge -1 dev-libs/expat
eselect sh set m ## to go back to dash, if you so wish
|
to use bash to handle expat.
Just posting this to save anyone else going down the rabbit hole of broken C compilers.
