This is a screenshot of the Ubuntu VM's terminal

General summary: The bug occurred after the makefile.tools for netsurf goes to auto-detect a toolchain.

Description of the bug:
  Overview:
    The bug happens when Netsurf's Makefile.tools goes to auto-detect a 
    toolchain.
    (Defined beginning at line 353 of the Makefile.tools file) For unknown 
    reasons the process failed, even though two valid toolchains were present
    (gcc and clang). 
  
  Steps to reproduce (This is not perfect):

     1. Make buildroot configure to output a Linux distro made for x86_64 PCs for EFI and in the build options enable gcc and glibc

     2. Configure a distro that does not include libgtk3 in anyway

     3. Enable netsurf

     4. Compile
  
  Expected Results:
    Netsurf will compile successfully and the compilation will move on as usual

  Actual Results:
    Netsurf completely fails to detect a toolchain and fails 

  Build Date and Hardware: July 14, 2020 10:45 AM EST on a Macbook Pro mid-2017 running MacOS 10.14.6 running a Ubuntu VM

Could you attach to this bug report the exact Buildroot .config file that allows to reproduce this issue ?

Indeed, in our autobuilder infrastructure, the build of netsurf hasn't failed since July 2019.

The .config file is a little too large so I uploaded it to google drive:
