It didn't look like it. I don't have it now since I've found I the switch to minimal has caused my gcc to not be ready to compile binaries. I'm in there now with live cd trying to fix things up. I copied the livecd gcc binary on /mnt/gentoo/mybin. I've chrooted into the problem OS after mounting the livecd proc directory on it, and attempting to emerge gcc, after adding /mybin first in the $PATH variable. Here is that error message: [...] gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "gcc" *** The command 'gcc -o conftest conftest.c' failed. *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler. * * ERROR: sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 46: Called src_compile * environment, line 4540: Called toolchain_src_compile * environment, line 5022: Called gcc_src_compile * environment, line 2903: Called gcc_do_configure * environment, line 2669: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * "${S}"/configure ${confgcc} $@ ${EXTRA_ECONF} || diefunc "$FUNCNAME" "$LINENO" "$?"
