Summary:                    bad compiler version discover in dependencies.sh
Description: 
Hello,
I don't know wheter or not $HOSTCC have to be defined before lauching
'make'.

Anyway, when not configured, the following test fails:
COMPILER=$(which $HOSTCC)

'which' gracefully respond with helps text....
that next $XSED is unable to understand ;)

file:
toolchain/dependencies/dependencies.sh; line

same for $HOSTCXX, next test.

Note also 'head' is used before testing presence by the script.

HOSTCC and HOSTCXX are optional.

Please post the exact error you are seeing.

I don't understand why you point to an unrelated comment? Please
elaborate.

Hello,

Just log all the make programs output to see details of the error.
Or ever simpler: go directly in dependencies subir and lauch
dependencies.sh.
It tests every needed support program presence (except for 'head')
and it completly fails the compiler test version
WHEN HOSTCC IS NOT SET (then HOSTCXX)
Can't be more clear than that, sorry.

Asking 'which something' returns pathto something
Asking 'which' returns which's syntax usage.

Guess what happens when HOSTSCC is empty....
