I'm using CLFS Git and am trying to build GCC 4.8.3 for the final system. I recieved a

Code:

configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

while compiling so I checked out the logs and discoved I had no /lib/cpp file. What would cause this?

Apparently it's just a symlink to gcc. Excecuting

Code:

ln -sv "$(which gcc)" /lib/cpp

will fix it.

Code:

pan@host:/lib$ ls -l /lib/cpp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jun 12 14:43 /lib/cpp -> /etc/alternatives/cpp
pan@host:/lib$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/cpp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 12 14:43 /etc/alternatives/cpp -> /usr/bin/cpp
pan@host:/lib$ ls -l /usr/bin/cpp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 13  2012 /usr/bin/cpp -> cpp-4.6
pan@host:/lib$ ls -l /usr/bin/cpp-4.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 357312 Apr 16  2012 /usr/bin/cpp-4.6
pan@host:/lib$

I would rather try to install cpp (or gcc?)
