udev and busybox fail on new install (i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc)

[Vorlon]

I'm doing a clean install on a P4 system, and failing to emerge updates for udev and busybox. I'm gettng similar errors which indicate the system is not finding gcc. Here is the error for busybox:

>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/busybox-1.8.2/work/busybox-1.8.2 ...
SPLIT include/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
GEN include/bbconfigopts.h
/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/busybox-1.8.2/work/busybox-1.8.2/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found

/bin/sh: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found
make[1]: *** [applets/applets.o] Error 127
make: *** [applets] Error 2


I've run emerge -e world, and these are the only 2 errors.

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc is sitting peacefully in /usr/bin.

Any ideas why it's not finding this program?

the build environment got hosed somehow? look in /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/busybox-1.8.2/temp/environment

just built a few the other day, and did emerge -e and it rebuilt busybox just fine.

Well, I'm not sure why I have 3 versions of gcc on my system, but gcc-config -l showed:

[1] i486-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1
[2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6
[3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2

gcc-config -c showed none were set as the default.


I set the default to i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 and everything works fine now.

That looks like a correct set. save one version back, and the old 3.3.6 keeps getting pulled in, i think by the old libstdc(++?). I don't recall ever seeing it be used. I'd have to dig through the logs, but I seem to recall that may have been the one thing I couldn't get to build. skipped and moved on without another hiccup. and at the moment my latest builds are running rock solid (software operating correctly) whether or not the situation is stable in the kernels.....only thing that ever really crashes on my machines is firefox. it crashes no matter how I build it, on every piece of hardware/distribution I have.

cheers!
