Description Adrian Bassett 2013-03-19 09:56:14 UTC

Linking failed when upgrading to media-gfx/fotoxx to 13.03.  This was because the -lpthread library was not being passed to the linker. The accompanying patch (modifies Makefile by appending -lpthread to the LIBS line) remedies the problem for gold without breaking for default ld.bfd linker.

Reproducible: Always

This is an underlinking bug, not a gold bug as such.
