I now get this error trying to emerge two different packages:
libofx-0.10.7 and gnupg (both 2.2.39 and 2.3.6).  It might also be the
same problem for a few bugs on b.g.o found by searching on "cannot
create exectuables."

The relevant lines from build.log are

checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in
`/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libofx-0.10.7/work/libofx-0.10.7':

See `config.log' for more details

and from config.log:

The thing I find curious is that it appears to me that the output of the
test compile is a file called "g" which I don't recall ever seeing, and
so I wonder if the problem is that something has changed with gcc
defaults and configure does not yet recognize that change.  I also don't
know the  significance of the two "fatal error: no input files".

The fact that this happens with two unrelated packages suggests that
it's  not specific to either of them, but something in my system or
configuration.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
