Just for future reference, configure errors often show up in the
config.log file in the work directory for the package you are building.
For example, the gettex-0.11.5 work dir is in
/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.11.5-r1/work/gettext-0.11.5 by default. This
directory wont be cleaned up if there is a build error, so you should
still have it. Take a look at the config.log file for the information
following the line: "configure:1817: checking for C compiler default
output," hopefully there will be a bit of information about the error.
Here's what the error will look like if one of your CFLAGS are wrong:
configure:1817: checking for C compiler default output
configure:1820: gcc -ftracer -mfpmath=sse -mpni -march=pentium4 -O2
-pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fVERYWRONG conftest.c >&5
cc1: error: unrecognized option `-fVERYWRONG'
configure:1823: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 1801 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
int
main ()
{
;
return 0;
}
configure:1846: error: C compiler cannot create executables
Good Luck,
