[Nottingham] An occasional Gentoo-ism revisited: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

Folks,

By the power of ultimate configurability and FLOSS freedom...

I've just re-stumbled across an occasional hiccup on Gentoo after a
recompile of the compiler whereby for the very next compile of anything
you then get:


configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables


All is explained on my old article on:

Blogs and open comment can be really useful. Even for yourself! :-)

Have fun!
Martin
