I'm using the unsupported LDFLAGS "-Wl,--as-needed", but I suppose that compiling spca5xx it shouldn't fails for ld unrecognized options. This is what I get with an emerge =spca5xx-20060101: /var/tmp/portage/spca5xx-20060101/work/spca5xx-20060101/drivers/usb/spca5xx.c:5389: warning: 'defaultrows' may be used uninitialized in this function /var/tmp/portage/spca5xx-20060101/work/spca5xx-20060101/drivers/usb/spca5xx.c:5388: warning: 'defaultcols' may be used uninitialized in this function ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,--as-needed' ld: use the --help option for usage information make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/spca5xx-20060101/work/spca5xx-20060101/spca5xx.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/spca5xx-20060101/work/spca5xx-20060101] Error 2 make: *** [default] Error 2 !!!

At present, we don't support any use of LDFLAGS. Feel free to reopen if you have a sane patch. Thanks.
opening and reassigned to kernel as linux-mod.eclass should probably filter LDFLAGS(I can't think on a valid one)
This should actually be resolved with the implementation of 133382.
I fixed the other bug and we use LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" now. Please reopen when it does not work for you.
