So the ./configure failure is easy enough to reproduce: #1 - set LDFLAGS= in make.conf to include '-Wl,--add-needed' #2 - try and emerge firefox-28. The reason for the failure is simple: ld.gold does not support --add-needed (or --copy-dt-needed-entries , which is the proper option name now)... By default, it seems, firefox-26 and above have --enable-gold set. This can be undone by setting "mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-gold" within src_configure in the ebuild: --- firefox-28.0.ebuild 22 Mar 2014 10:57:55 -0000 1.3 +++ firefox-28.0.ebuild 27 Mar 2014 16:32:26 -0000 @@ -217,6 +217,7 @@ mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-mailnews mozconfig_annotate '' --with-system-png mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-system-ffi + mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-gold # Other ff-specific settings mozconfig_annotate '' --with-default-mozilla-five-home=${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME} HOWEVER, at this time, i'm not sure if gentoo should be doing this by default -- for instance, it may make more sense to strip -Wl,--add-needed from LDFLAGS. Also, this is not a valid case for a use flag so we won't be making it optional. MAYBE we could set this in the ebuild to be conditional on the existence of the flag in LDFLAGS, unsure...
To the user: First of all, do you realize -Wl,--add-needed is deprecated flag in favour of -Wl,--copy-dt-needed-entries? And do you realize -Wl,--add-needed or -Wl,--copy-dt-needed-entries in fact *adds* overlinking, and is counter productive? You propably want to remove it from your flags, to get reduce overhead, remove it altogether since -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries has been the default for a while now. To the maintainers: There is m4/attributes.m4 in systemd's tarball that allows you to do this from configure.ac: CC_CHECK_FLAGS_APPEND([with_ldflags], [LDFLAGS], [-Wl,-fuse-ld=gold]) AC_SUBST([OUR_LDFLAGS], "$with_ldflags") And Makefile.am AM_LDFLAGS = $(OUR_LDFLAGS) As in, there is a proper way to check that binutils is new enough and has -Wl,-fuse-ld=gold, and that it works, as opposed to blindly calling ld.gold I expect you manage a patch out from this information for upstream ;-)

Thanks ssuominen! Reading through the build system, I think I've changed my mind.. it looks like the MOZ_FORCE_GOLD option (which is what --enable-gold sets) is meant to be there for "local builds", which I assume are builds done by mozilla developers, or possibly by mozilla development machines (tinderboxes). Setting --disable-gold has no effect on the buildsystem outside of removing the workaround that guarantees linking with ld.gold; and it would seem to make more sense for the whole build system to use ${LD} than for a hack to override it. A search on mozilla's bugzilla doesn't show any particular need for ld.gold, and if the rest of a user's system is using ld.bfd, I see no reason why firefox shouldn't. With mozilla lead's blessings, I would like to set this in the ebuilds.
The upstream bug discussing the switch to ld.gold by default: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633269 speed improvements during build seem to be the primary reason, better LTO support being another. Is it safe to expect anyone experimenting with LTO will also be experimenting with ld.gold? Or alternatively, is it safe to not expect that we need to support them blindly? :)

It's good that it is no longer needed but IIRC it was quite important 'anti-frustration' feature back then.

It's good that it is no > longer needed but IIRC it was quite important 'anti-frustration' feature > back then. ~2006 sounds like about when -Wl,--as-needed was just being rolled out, and some packages had bugs and needed their library linking adjusted. At any rate, the vast majority of the gentoo user base is using -Wl,--as-needed without -Wl,--add-needed and does not have issues, since this has been default for at least a few years.

Fixed www-client/seamonkey too, as it had the same issue.
