Looks like a problem with your setup.

[schizoidcock]

but i have gcc 5.3, maybe i need to edit brew conf

Did you ever solve this? I have the exact same problem.

@tinyheero @mrodrigues Have either of you tried following the troubleshooting steps mentioned above (in the output of homebrew)? Here's the url: https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Troubleshooting.md#troubleshooting

Have either of you tried following the troubleshooting steps in the homebrew-neovim repo: https://github.com/neovim/homebrew-neovim#troubleshooting?

This looks like it's a Linuxbrew problem, IMHO, or a libtool one. libtool is being called with the right gcc:

libtool --mode=link --tag=CC /home/schizoidcock/.linuxbrew/bin/gcc-5 -L/home/schizoidcock/.linuxbrew/lib ...

But libtool decided it was going to use gcc-4.8 for the link step:

libtool: link: /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 -shared -fPIC -DPIC .libs/unibilium.o .libs/uninames.o .libs/uniutil.o -L/home/schizoidcock/.linuxbrew/lib -Wl,--dynamic-linker=/home/schizoidcock/.linuxbrew/lib/ld.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/schizoidcock/.linuxbrew/lib -Wl,-soname -Wl,libunibilium.so.0 -o .libs/libunibilium.so.0.3.0
/home/schizoidcock/.linuxbrew/bin/libtool: line 10548: /usr/bin/gcc-4.8: No such file or directory

Why that is happening, I don't know. Somehow, libtool is being convinced to use a different compiler. Find the source of that, and you'll likely have found the source of the problem.
