Upstream removed the cc rule, stating that "gn has no C code" (https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/de542971d3cbc4b9d42e603667ac3c24b639a02a%5E%21/)

Additionally, tools/misc was moved from gn/tools/gn/misc to the top-level gn/misc (https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/3f6100c97584f7d3f7664add92f1c1dbe0223218).

All in all, I had to make the following changes to the PKGBUILD and the patch to make the package install:

I get the same error: "name 'cc' is not defined"

Still getting....

Any ideas??
