[ovirt-devel] openvswitch on Centos 8 will not re/build

hi guys, Centos 8 comes with gcc-8 which openvswitch does not like (from rpm source: openvswitch-2.11.1-5.el8.src.rpm) and it fails to build. Would that be correct? ... checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking how to create a pax tar archive... gnutar checking whether make supports the include directive... yes (GNU style) checking for x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-gcc... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/yum.rpm/rpmbuilds/os.generic/build/openvswitch-2.11.1': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details regards, L.
