Description of issue

When updating some formulae (e.g. scrcpy, ffmpeg) I get errors that gcc cannot be found.
I must admit I have an Intel Macbook running Sonoma where the Homebrew folder is still in the wrong place (/Users/me/homebrew rather than /usr/local) as I did not know by then (several years ago) that the recommenden folder is /usr/local.

I got errors after brew update and brew upgrade after repeated attempts. I have the latest tools Xcode from the App Store (15.3).
I got this:

Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core!

These open issues may also help:
gcc: error in catching C++ exceptions https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/162714
Do not report this issue: you are running in an unsupported configuration.

Finally I want to move the whole homebrew stuff to /opt/local where it belongs but how should I do this ?

My idea is :
brew bundle dump

Then reinstalling it (how ?)

and then restoring by
brew bundle --file ~/my-folder/Brewfile

Does anyone know this ?

I got this error immediately after I upgraded to Xcode 15.

Hope someone can help on this issue.

Well, I did it by completely removing Homebrew with a script provided by them.
Then I reinstalled Homebrew freshly (yes in /usr/local) and installed my wanted packages such as PHP, Apache, MariaDB and others. Copying httpd.conf from the old config worked like a charm.
