After emerging net-snmp with LDFLAGS='-Wl,--sort-common -z now -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable-new- dtags' executing /usr/sbin/snmpd -f says: /usr/sbin/snmpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so.5: undefined symbol: netsnmp_register_null Emerging after UNSETting LDFLAGS solves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--sort-common -z now -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable- new-dtags" 2. emerge net-snmp 3. /usr/sbin/snmpd -f Actual Results: The following error occurs: /usr/sbin/snmpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so.5: undefined symbol: netsnmp_register_null Expected Results: Not get such an error Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc- 2.3.5-r0, 2.4.26-om1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.26-om1 i686 VIA Nehemiah Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 distcc 2.18.3 i586-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.22-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=pentium2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -frename-registers - ftracer -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse,387" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share /config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/ mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=pentium2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -frename-registers - ftracer -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse,387" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--sort-common -z now -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable-new- dtags" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j8 --max-load=10.0" PKGDIR="/Data/packages/l-gateway" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/Data/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.nl.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/" USE="x86 X aavm alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts boundschecking bzip2 curl dhcp divx4linux eds emboss evms2 extensions fam font-server foomaticdb gd gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas ldirectord libg++ libwww live lm_sensors logrotate memlimit mmap mmx mmx2 mmxext motif mozdevelop mozilla moznomail mp3 mpeg mppe- mppc mysql ncurses network nodrm nojoystick ogg opengl oss pam parse-clocks perl png prelude python qt quicktime readline real samba sdl slang snmp sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales virus- scan xine xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib linguas_en userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL
We do not support arbitrary linker flags. You can do what you want, but don't bug us with this, please. And btw: -ftracer is a unsafe compiler flag, -mfpmath=sse,387 breaks occassionally code, too, so it's more likely your bug reports, if they seem not reasonable, go to /dev/null.
