While cleaning out old libraries in /usr/local/lib, I also removed /usr/local/lib/libssp.so (before removing anything I used equery belongs to ensure that no packages owned those files). Unfortunately, this causes much of my system to break, as many packages seem to have been linked against this library. I am unable to re-merge all of the broken packages because they all seem to depend on libssp: the compile always fails with ld complaining that it cannot find -lssp. I have re-emerged both glibc and gcc since, and neither has helped. My question is: (a) what package *really* owns libssp, or (b) how can I remove other packages' dependence on libssp (i.e. get rid of the -lssp ld option)? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove libssp.so (after backing it up!) 2. Re-emerge gcc Actual Results: Libssp.so is not replaced! Expected Results: libssp.so should exist in one of the library directories. gcc --version: gcc (Gentoo 4.3.3-r2 p1.2, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.3 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

there is no libssp.so.0 nor has there ever been in any unmasked package. nothing should have ever linked against it. rebuild anything that is.
Since there is no libssp.so, then the second part of my question applies (and the title of this bug is incorrect): How can I get rid of the "-lssp" in CFLAGS/LDFLAGS when emerging gnome-extra/yelp (for example)? This is what happens when I try: ... libtool: link: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DORBIT2=1 [...] -lssp [...] /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lssp collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [yelp] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/yelp-2.26.0/work/yelp-2.26.0/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/yelp-2.26.0/work/yelp-2.26.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/yelp-2.26.0/work/yelp-2.26.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 * * ERROR: gnome-extra/yelp-2.26.0 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2905: Called gnome2_src_compile * environment, line 2265: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die "compile failure" * The die message: * compile failure * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/gnome-extra:yelp-2.26.0:20090530-002312.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/yelp-2.26.0/temp/environment'.
Sorry to add another comment, but I also noticed that even when I add "-no-stack-protector" to the CFLAGS, I still get linker errors complaining about undefined symbols like __memcpy_chk@LIBSSP_1_0.
I have found the issue and am fixing it right now. Thank you for your patience! Apparently, libspp.so got linked into one of the core gnome libraries, and from there virtually every package depending on that package became dependent on this libssp.so.
you probably have -lssp crap in your libtool scripts (*.la)
Yep. It's nasty too... sometimes it doesn't get picked up by grep and revdep-rebuild.
