Re: net/net-snmp build failure on 9.99.37

Unsure if related or not, but I updated pkgsrc, then ran
"pkg_rolling-replace -u" . Suddenly gcc3 became a dependency to
py-setuptools, and gcc3 needs binutils, which fails at the configure
step with "C compiler cannot create executables". I switched to
another terminal, wrote a short hello world in C and indeed, gcc
(/usr/bin/gcc) does nothing, not even an error. Even "gcc -v" does
nothing, and afterwards, "echo $?" returns 0. FWIW, I rebooted, to no
avail. Also running 9.99.37, amd64, VBox guest, Linux host.
