I started on foss/2016a with Easybuild 2.7.0, having successfully build all previous foss toolchain versions without problem with earlier EB versions. This time I don’t get far, with binutils-2.25-GCCcore-4.9.3.eb failing with: 'build failed (first 300 chars): cmd "LIBS="$EBROOTZLIB/lib/libz.a" make -j 32 "'
I have cut/pasted the end of the log below. This seems rather basic, so Iam wondering what nobody else has hit this. The toolchain build is using the system GCC 4.4.7 (RHEL6).
