In normal operation, buildworld first builds a compiler from source and then uses that compiler by adding to $PATH and building with just 'cc'. Are you overriding $CC in your environment? With today's RELENG_7 I spotted a similar kind of compilation problem, and this gave a hint to solving it. In my case, the problem was that I had set the following environment variables (for enabling the compilation of a program): LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib CFLAGS= (or CFLAGS=-pg, not 100% sure) unsetenv'ing these fixed by 'make buildworld'. I wonder if this is something that the build scripts themselves should catch and correct? -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks.
