During a emerge -uDav world there was an update for audacity, but it failed with the following: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: BFD 2.16.1 internal error, aborting at /var/tmp/portage/binutils-2.16.1-r2/work/binutils-2.16.1/bfd/elflink.c line 6536 in elf_link_output_extsym /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: Please report this bug. I checked the reported bugs did not find one like it. I also tried the ebuild and patch found in bug #124120 but the result was the same. I also tried with MAKEOPTS="-j1" as I found another bug with that solution, but it also returned the same error. I had just updated my toolchain and did an -e system and -e world about two weeks ago and audacity-1.2.4b-r1 emerged just fine. Also I thought perhaps it might be my LDFLAGS, but same result without them.

Created attachment 88794 [details] This part of my log from the failed emerge of audacity-1.3.0b
try re-emerging it with CFLAGS="-pipe" and LDFLAGS=""
(In reply to comment #2) > try re-emerging it with CFLAGS="-pipe" and LDFLAGS="" > I tried that but the result was the same, same error.Thanks anyhow.
From another bug somewhere, I believe the solution is that wxGTK needs to be built with LDFLAGS="" or binutils bumped to a newer (masked) version.

So that worked for me. Thanks a lot. Steven Altermatt
sounds good
