Hello everybody,
This is another C compiler cannot create executables
error :( There's a lot of stuff in the archive about
it but nothing I've seen so far seems to suit my case.
I ran emerge --sync successfully and then tried -uv
world; it failed trying to compile sed-4.1.4
Sure enough,
I had that problem a while ago, the solution is also on the gentoo wiki.
In addition to the forums and bug reports, check gentoo-wiki.com
whenever you've got a problem. There's TONS of valueable information
there. There's a searchbar plugin for firefox.
