[SOLVED] Arch System now can't compile anything...

I've been running my Arch system for over a decade now, and just today, I ran into this problem for the first time.

I've downloaded the source code for MakeMKV, entered the directory, typed

./configure

and waited forever, but the configure step never made it past "checking build system type."

While it's doing that cc and/or gcc take up 100% of a CPU thread each.

Trying to diagnose the problem, I've even tried running config.guess directly from the automake directory at

/usr/share/automake-1.16/config.guess

and it hangs also.

Working further down the chain, I've found that gcc hangs while compiling a hello world program!

My system is all -Syyu up to date, so what should I try next?

... solved by removing the hardening-wrapper package
