Hi,

XEmacs 21.4 from pkgsrc (no Arch package) fails early in configure:

*** PANIC *** Configure tests are not working - compiler is broken.

-- it looks like the configure script is lost on this platform, not
finding anything. I guess not finding cpp(1) is not helpful...
The pkgsrc installation uses the native compiler:
% gcc --version | head -1
gcc (GCC) 8.2.1 20181127
% which cpp
/usr/bin/cpp
%
config.log has lots of entries like
[...]

where the error messages don't make any sense to me - but my autohell fu
is rusty.
I can provide detailed build log files, if needed.
Does the above speak to anyone, and would you have a fix?
Cheerio,
