[arch-general] Gcc 10.2.0-5 cannot create executable error on Archlinux testing.

[fredbezies]

Hello.

I had a bad surprise this morning when I tried to build
dosbox-x-sdl2-git on my freshly updated Archlinux;

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/fred/dosbox-x-sdl2-git/src/dosbox-x':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I tried midnight commander, same error:

==> Starting build()...
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking whether make supports the include directive... yes (GNU style)
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/fred/mc/src/mc-4.8.25':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

I noticed binutils, gcc/gcc-libs and glibc were updated this morning.
Downgrading  these ones and rebooting gave me a working C compiler
back.
