Hi

Sorry for the inconvenience, but if you experience problems
where builds fail due to /lib/cpp or /usr/bin/cc not being
executable:

-----------------------
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config 
imake: No such file or directory 
imake: Cannot exec /lib/cpp. 
  Stop. 
-----------------------

Please do the following:

 # emerge rsync
 # rm -f /lib/cpp /usr/bin/cc
 # cp /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/cpp /lib
 # cp /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/cc /usr/bin
 # chmod +x /lib/cpp /usr/bin/cc

The reason for this, is that for support of multiple versions
of gcc, we had to drop the /lib/cpp and /usr/bin/cc symlinks
in favour for wrappers.

Problem now, is that many of the older gcc ebuild have a broken
pkg_postrm() function that recreate the /lib/cpp and /usr/bin/cc
symlinks after new one was merged, and old is then unmerged.

If any problems, and above does not work, drop me a mail ... I
will try to help everyone in reasonable time.


Regards,
