Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.12.63_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate r
Package(s) Affected
gcc-14.2.1+20250405_4
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
Proper build without issues. GCC cross-compiles to armv5tel-musl without issue, but musl1.1 not optimal for me.
Actual behaviour
After completing the pre-build hooks, the gcc build fails during the do_build stage, noting
configure: error: in '/builddir/gcc-14.2.1+20250405/build/fixincludes':
configure: error: C preprocessor "arm-linux-gnueabi-cpp" fails sanity check
Steps to reproduce
- clone this repo
- run
./xbps-src binary-bootstrap - run
./xbps-src -a armv5tel pkg gcc - fails during configure stage

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with ./xbps-src binary-bootstrap followed by ./xbps-src -a armv5tel pkg gcc, and inspect the gcc build's do_build/configure output around the fixincludes directory. Done means the gcc package builds successfully for armv5tel without the arm-linux-gnueabi-cpp sanity-check failure.
