Why doesn't gcc work in sabayon?

Question

linux

gcc does not work, I wanted to build the kernel, but I can’t even configure it

make nconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
gcc-config: error: could not run/locate 'gcc'
scripts/Makefile.host:91: recipe for target 'scripts/basic/fixdep' failed
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
Makefile:439: recipe for target 'scripts_basic' failed
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

tried to install from an older version

sudo equo install gcc-4.4.7 --ask

Answer 1

Try to check for the presence of gcc itself, or maybe Sabayon uses clang instead (then in make.conf you will need to register its compiler by default), or there was no compiler in stage3.
