Most packages not compiling properly

Hello Arch users!

For some time now, I have been experiencing a weird issue. When trying to compile packages (mostly AUR packages),  I receive contradictory messages from the make command. Let me show you:

checking if gcc accepts -dumpversion option... yes
checking gcc version... 4.7.0
checking if g++ accepts -dumpversion option... yes
checking g++ version... 4.7.0
configure: Excellent, the C, C++ and Fortran compilers are all GCC 4.7.0
configure: GCC 4.0.0  is very buggy and can not build Sage.
configure: Please use a gcc of at least 4.0.1.
configure: error: Exiting due to the use of a version of GCC that is too buggy
 ERROR: You do not have all of the prerequisites needed
 to build Sage from source.  See the errors above.
make[1]: *** [installed/prereq-0.9] Error 1

And I have GCC 4.7 installed. I use multilib. Tell me if you need anything else.

Re: Most packages not compiling properly

Do you have base-devel or multilib-devel installed?

Re: Most packages not compiling properly

Yes, I do have multilib-devel installed.

I noticed that another symptom has arised: Maple 13 keeps complaining that it does not have kernel connection. Related?

Most packages I try to build complain that either gcc, intltool or some dev package is out-of-date. This is really weird...

Re: Most packages not compiling properly

could be an issue with automake/autoconf , try removing them completely and re-installing .
(check the pacman man page for the -Rdd option).

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Most packages not compiling properly

I just tried

yaourt -Rdd automake autoconf

and

yaourt -S automake autoconf

and it didn't change anything.

Thanks for the tip anyway,

Re: Most packages not compiling properly

Could it be a kernel issue? Maybe missing symlinks, or something? I'm not well versed in Linux architecture, but this is a really weird issue I've never experienced before.

I'm considering re-installing, but that's just annoying.
