To resolve this issue, we can perhaps we can add a section on Fedora in the install GNU/Linux section of our docs portal @har00ga using the suggestions @nisdas posted above

Summarizing the conversation from discord with @0mkara :
2 potential solutions to this:

dnf install patch

and exporting the environment variables

export CC="/usr/bin/gcc"
export CXX="/usr/bin/g++"

as detailed here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52370202/how-to-get-bazel-ccache-and-sandboxing-to-work-together-ccache-read-only-file.

Leaving this here in case any other fedora user runs into the same issues

Sorry I missed this, using Github's new notification panel and still getting used to it :sweat_smile: No problem! Will post here after merge.
