/sbin/gcc not able to compile a simple test package during install

I tried to install this metis package.

I cloned it, cd into it then ran

makepkg -si

I got this error:

I'm confused by this because the compiler is working fine afaik! Only when installing this package do I encounter this problem.
So I don't understand why /sbin/gcc is failing a simple test here.

Any help is much appreciated!

CMakeFiles/cmTC_fffa8.dir/flags.make:10: *** recipe commences before first target.  Stop.

It's not gcc but make resp. the Makefile generated by cmake.
=> look at or post it.

Edit: because we just had that… post it to 0x0.st, the actual file matters, not a rendition of the text inside that went through a browser and a php script…
