gcc-4.8.2-1: /bin/gcc fails

2013-11-02 Thread David Rothenberger
With gcc-4.8.2-1, the following fails: % touch /tmp/t.c % /bin/gcc -c /tmp/t.c gcc: error: spawn: No such file or directory This works correctly if gcc is invoked as gcc or /usr/bin/gcc. It also works correctly with 4.8.1. It appears this is due to a change from /usr/lib to /usr/libexec.
