C++ compilation of rule '//src/main/tools:linux-sandbox' failed

Please provide the following information. The more we know about your system and use case, the more easily and likely we can help.

Description of the problem / feature request / question:

I manage to compile bazel from source, and I follow the Documentation. But I got the error:

If possible, provide a minimal example to reproduce the problem:

[llf@k20-1 bazel]$ ./compile.sh

How to address this problem?

I copy the sound code from git clone https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel.git . Is it the latest version?

• If bazel info release returns "development version" or "(@non-git)", please tell us what source tree you compiled Bazel from; git commit hash is appreciated (git rev-parse HEAD):

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web? (e.g. GitHub issues, email threads in the bazel-discuss@googlegroups.com archive)

#1900 #583

Anything else, information or logs or outputs that would be helpful?

(If they are large, please upload as attachment or provide link).

[aehlig]

Over to @damienmg for the policy decission on how old C-compiliers we still support; also, as the problem is realted to #1900 which he handled and vpiced strong opinions there.

[damienmg]

So we do not support such old version of gcc, on RHEL 6, you can follow the instruction there to install a new GCC:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/wiki/FAQ#q2

[linrio]

@aehlig @damienmg Tks!
I have addressed this problem by updating GCC version from gcc-4.4.7 to gcc-4.8.2. Reference linrio and #2069 , #1420
Now my gcc version is:

[llf@k20-1 lib64]$ gcc -v
使用内建 specs。
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/gcc4.8.2/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.2/lto-wrapper
目标：x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
配置为：../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc4.8.2/ --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib
线程模型：posix
gcc 版本 4.8.2 (GCC) 

And the compile result is:

INFO: From Building src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/libbazel-main.jar (4 source files, 3 resources):
Note: src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/BazelMain.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.

Build successful! Binary is here: /home/llf/bazel/output/bazel

But why occur this problem? The bazel does not support the old version gcc-4.4.7?

[damienmg]

No Bazel C++ code is using recent compiler feature that are not provided by gcc-4.4.7.

Glad you find a way to compile bazel :)
