I put Solus (the latest stable version 1.2.0.5) on a working laptop.
I started to install programs from sources, and nothing happens, when you start any ./configure , the same error crashes:

 checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.

Got to watch a log, and found this:

 configure:2517: gcc -V >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V' gcc: fatal error: no input files

Version gcc (Solus) 6.2.0

What is it and how to cure it?

    Just a few days ago came across a similar error. This option, -V , is in older versions of gcc, but in newer versions it is missing. For example, in 4.4.7 it still exists ( -V <version> Run gcc version number <version>, if installed ), but in 4.8.5 it is already gone. Perhaps using the older version of gcc will help you. - MANK
