gcc compilation failure (Value too large for defined data type)
I just reinstalled some of my servers with my beloved combo : gentoo & XFS <3
When I was trying to upgrade my gcc version from 7.3 to 8.2 I got the following error :
<pre class="wp-block-code">``` checking for uintptr_t... * /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/sandbox-2.13/work/sandbox-2.13/libsandbox/libsandbox.c:check_syscall():968: failure (Value too large for defined data type): * ISE: fopen_wr(conftest.val) abs_path: (null) res_path: /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-8.2.0-r6/work/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/32/libatomic/conftest.val configure: error: Could not determine word size. I finally found in that very old gentoo forum post and bug report that XFS is the rootcause.
