Steve Dower added the comment: Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils. If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If y

New submission from Calvin Walton: On Exherbo, the main C/C++ compilers are named e.g. "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-cc" and "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-c++", and they are symlinks to either (usually) gcc or (rarely) clang. Since distutils (in unixccompiler.py) is checking for the substring "gcc" or "g++" in
