For me the cause was under-linking caused by using the gold linker - there was no problem when I switched to ld.bfd for this version of networkmanager.

FWIW I'm not using ld.gold, using standard ld.bfd when build fails in this way.

Even just extracting upstream's vanilla tarball and issuing a './configure && make' on the source it fails in exactly the same way.

It seems maybe an oversight by upstream in libnm/Makefile.in leaving out '$(LIBDL)' in libnm.la: link line.

Changing:
$(AM_V_CCLD)$(libnm_la_LINK) -rpath $(libdir) $(libnm_la_OBJECTS) $(libnm_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)

to be:
$(AM_V_CCLD)$(libnm_la_LINK) -rpath $(libdir) $(libnm_la_OBJECTS) $(libnm_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS) $(LIBDL)

prior to running configure, means a successful build.

Interesting - but changing the linker was the only thing I did.  

(Perhaps mine was a niche case but I am a little bit surprised that there aren't more people having problems if this software is as much installed as I assume it is.)

Maybe both our cases are special.
I'm always finding new and interesting ways to break stuff :)

Bit surprised also but this version hasn't been in the tree more than a few days so probably time will tell.

Can confirm this. With gold the build fails. Switching to bfd linker works for me.
Comment 7 Rick Harris 2016-07-29 08:46:19 UTC
My bad I was unaware that my system was in fact using ld.gold.

Long boring story but I had mistakenly set and forgot EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-gold=default" in /etc/portage/...

This meant the readlink command I was using to detect the currently used 'ld' would display inaccurately and I actually needed to do 'ld -v' to find out it was set to 'gold'.

*sigh* Sorry for the noise, closing now...

It is still a bug that needs fixing.
Comment 9 Jason Schulz 2016-08-03 18:11:26 UTC
Also ran into this.  Is there a way to force ld.bfd in the ebuild?

Yes, but that's a workaround, not a fix.
Comment 11 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-08-03 18:40:48 UTC
I see NM-1.2.4 was released, which includes the upstream fix for this. I'll bump it.
