Probably an upstream problem, but maybe it can be filtered out by gentoo, or at least this bug report helps others with the same error: sys-apps/busybox-1.22.1 compilation breaks, when using gold for linking: /gentoo/tmp/build/working/portage/sys-apps/busybox-1.22.1/work/busybox-1.22.1/scripts/trylink "busybox_unstripped" "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" "-march=native -O2 -pipe -fuse-ld=gold -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wunused -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-value -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wno-format-security -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -fno-builtin-strlen -finline-limit=0 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-guess-branch-probability -funsigned-char -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -static" "-march=native -O2 -fuse-ld=gold " " applets/built-in.o" " archival/lib.a archival/libarchive/lib.a console-tools/lib.a coreutils/lib.a coreutils/libcoreutils/lib.a debianutils/lib.a e2fsprogs/lib.a editors/lib.a findutils/lib.a init/lib.a libbb/lib.a libpwdgrp/lib.a loginutils/lib.a mailutils/lib.a miscutils/lib.a modutils/lib.a networking/lib.a networking/libiproute/lib.a networking/udhcp/lib.a printutils/lib.a procps/lib.a runit/lib.a selinux/lib.a shell/lib.a sysklogd/lib.a util-linux/lib.a util-linux/volume_id/lib.a archival/built-in.o archival/libarchive/built-in.o console-tools/built-in.o coreutils/built-in.o coreutils/libcoreutils/built-in.o debianutils/built-in.o e2fsprogs/built-in.o editors/built-in.o findutils/built-in.o init/built-in.o libbb/built-in.o libpwdgrp/built-in.o loginutils/built-in.o mailutils/built-in.o miscutils/built-in.o modutils/built-in.o networking/built-in.o networking/libiproute/built-in.o networking/udhcp/built-in.o printutils/built-in.o procps/built-in.o runit/built-in.o selinux/built-in.o shell/built-in.o sysklogd/built-in.o util-linux/built-in.o util-linux/volume_id/built-in.o" " m crypt " Trying libraries: crypt m Failed: -Wl,--start-group -lcrypt -lm -Wl,--end-group Output of: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=native -O2 -pipe -fuse-ld=gold -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wunused -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-value -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wno-format-security -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -fno-builtin-strlen -finline-limit=0 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-guess-branch-probability -funsigned-char -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -static -march=native -O2 -fuse-ld=gold -o busybox_unstripped -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--sort-section,alignment -Wl,--start-group applets/built-in.o archival/lib.a archival/libarchive/lib.a console-tools/lib.a coreutils/lib.a coreutils/libcoreutils/lib.a debianutils/lib.a e2fsprogs/lib.a editors/lib.a findutils/lib.a init/lib.a libbb/lib.a libpwdgrp/lib.a loginutils/lib.a mailutils/lib.a miscutils/lib.a modutils/lib.a networking/lib.a networking/libiproute/lib.a networking/udhcp/lib.a printutils/lib.a procps/lib.a runit/lib.a selinux/lib.a shell/lib.a sysklogd/lib.a util-linux/lib.a util-linux/volume_id/lib.a archival/built-in.o archival/libarchive/built-in.o console-tools/built-in.o coreutils/built-in.o coreutils/libcoreutils/built-in.o debianutils/built-in.o e2fsprogs/built-in.o editors/built-in.o findutils/built-in.o init/built-in.o libbb/built-in.o libpwdgrp/built-in.o loginutils/built-in.o mailutils/built-in.o miscutils/built-in.o modutils/built-in.o networking/built-in.o networking/libiproute/built-in.o networking/udhcp/built-in.o printutils/built-in.o procps/built-in.o runit/built-in.o selinux/built-in.o shell/built-in.o sysklogd/built-in.o util-linux/built-in.o util-linux/volume_id/built-in.o -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--start-group -lcrypt -lm -Wl,--end-group ========== /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld.gold: fatal error: --sort-section: must take one of the following arguments: none, name collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:716: recipe for target 'busybox_unstripped' failed make: *** [busybox_unstripped] Error 1 * ERROR: sys-apps/busybox-1.22.1::gentoo failed (compile phase): * emake failed BTW: busybox can be built using LTO (with "-flto=4 -fuse-linker-plugin"), but cannot be linked by gold.

There seems to have been an upstream fix for this. Try emerging 1.22.1 or if that fails, 9999.

It happens with both 1.22.1 and 9999. I simplified {C, CXX, LD_}FLAGS to "-O2 -fuse-ld=gold" -> breaks, just "-O2" -> builds (actually using "-march=native -O2 -flto=4 -fuse-linker-plugin").

1.24.1 seems to build fine w/gold
*** Bug 567030 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
selecting gold directly via `binutils-config` works, but doing it dynamically via -fuse-ld=gold still fails
pushed a fix upstream and added to our tree: http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=32c3b1e4bc0ef44b329c1e95366ed5f05059c125
