So, to be safe, whenever you update > the base system you also have to rebuild the gcc ports. Tried your suggestion. I went to update ports. I explicitly did an update to lang/gcc48 before ports updating. This brought gcc48 up to version 4.8.5-20150212. However, the original error message is persistent. It appears that kBuild is using the gcc-4.8.4 files (or is hardcoded to use these files) from somewhere else but not the installed version. Error not resolved. Thanks for trying.home | help
