I'm building Retro68 on Arch Linux. I have successfully built Retro68 in other distros before like Fedora, NixOS, Void Linux, and also Arch Linux before I switched to those aforementioned distros. But for some reason, after I switched to Arch Linux the second time, it suddenly didn't build and gave me a strange error.

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

What do you mean my GCC can't create executables? Of course it can! It successfully built the M68K toolchain before I got this error. What the hell is going on??? It can built the M68K toolchain but not PowerPC??? I'm so confused?!

Also here's an extended log, can't do a full log since I don't want to bother building it again so:

I had a similar error on macOS, so I submitted #268.

The message displayed in the terminal is same as first post.

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

What do you mean my GCC can't create executables?

You would need to look in the config.log to see why it couldn't.

Confirmed, #268 fixes this.

I'm on macOS 15.1, running Homebrew and following the docs.
