[oe] c compiler cannot create executables (do_configure, gettext-native-0.17-r3)

[Christopher Friedt]

Hi Koen

I determined what the problem was - ccache - I think that because
ccache existed on my (well, my work's) build machine, that it
consistently interfered with *-native.

The remote machine I'm building OE on is a CentOS 4.5 box (not my
preference, but the IT manager's), and my solution was to just remove
ccache entirely.

The relevant part of gettext-0.17/autoconf-lib-link/config.log is below.

Cheers,

Chris
