Hello,

Yesterday (still under1.7.3) I had a "compiler not found" and a
"compiler cannot create executables" errors while trying to build some
standard apps, i.e. nginx.
I tried reinstalling gcc related packages under devel section with no luck.
Today, I tried again, there has been also an (automatic) update to 1.7.4.
Still got these errors:

$ uname -a

What could be happening?
Someone else is getting this?

Regards.
P.D. sorry for the html, I'm sending this from the webmail...
