compiler is broken (?)

i cvs update'd my source, then ran configure with the following options: ./configure --extra-verbose \ --with-widgets \ --with-athena=3d \ --debug \ --rel-alloc \ --error-checking=none \ --with-wmcommand \ --pdump \ --with-site-lisp=yes \ --with-sound=no and i was told: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [...] checking size of short... 0 Defining SIZEOF_SHORT = 0 *** PANIC *** Configure tests are not working - compiler is broken. *** PANIC *** Please examine config.log for compilation errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ i peeked into config.log, to find: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ configure:4548: checking size of short configure:4562: gcc -o conftest -Wall -Wno-switch -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wsign-com pare -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wpacked -Wshadow -Wmissing-declarations -g -O3 conftest.c 1>&5 cc1: Invalid option `-Wpacked' configure:4554: warning: return-type defaults to `int' configure:4554: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype configure: failed program was: #line 4551 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdio.h> main() { FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w"); if (!f) exit(1); fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof(short)); exit(0); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ btw, i found 14 references to " Invalidcc1: Invalid option `-Wpacked'" in config.log, so it seems unrelated to my problem 'gcc --version' says 2.95.4, and dpkg -l tells me that i have installed ii libc6 2.3.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libc6-dev 2.3.1-5 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea i mention that, cs i know that there is some fuss with new C lib, and mine was upgraded last week ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux boffi95 2.2.21 #1 Wed Jul 17 12:52:48 CEST 2002 i586 unknown unknown GNU/Linux ./configure '--extra-verbose' '--with-widgets' '--with-athena=3d' '--debug' '--rel-alloc' '--error-checking=none' '--with-wmcommand' '--pdump' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-sound=no' '--with-sound=native' XEmacs 21.5-b9 "brussels sprouts" (+CVS-20021106) configured for `i586-pc-linux'.
