Bug 340719 – libgcrypt-1.4.4 fails to link with the gold linker

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Raymes Khoury 2010-10-12 16:53:24 UTC]

libgcrypt-1.4.4 fails to link with the gold linker. The following error is reported:

/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/ld: register.o: in function check_run:register.c(.text+0x28c): error: undefined reference to 'gpg_strerror'
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/ld: register.o: in function check_run:register.c(.text+0x424): error: undefined reference to 'gpg_strerror'
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/ld: register.o: in function check_run:register.c(.text+0x444): error: undefined reference to 'gpg_strerror'

This is because -lgpg-error is not explicitly passed to the linker.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE=gold emerge binutils
2. emerge =libgcrypt-1.4.4

Created attachment 250373 [details, diff]
Patch to allow the package to be linked with gold.

1.4.4 is no longer in the tree. Is the problem still present in 1.4.6?

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-12-02 18:32:45 UTC]

Works fine with gold now.
