[gentoo-user] Cannot compile anything: libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script - glibc 2.4 upgrade related?

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello!

On one machine, I upgraded to glibc 2.4, and since that time,
I cannot compile anything anymore :( I always get errors
like this:

checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

In the config.log, I find:

configure:2398: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2401: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer   -Wl,-z,now conftest.c  >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as
linker script
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../libc.so:5: syntax error
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

That's "somewhat" annoying... :(

Any ideas how I can fix this issue?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
