Feel free to report this to upstream, but maybe one of the following patches fix your problem: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-panel/commit/?id=d38428d78ca5a3e51e0cf472875652fd2d787ada http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-panel/commit/?id=787dc4c9b1d433829de03b6c89df3a748bddc31d
Created attachment 287803 [details, diff] sample fix This is a example patch to fix this underlinking problem. I've confirmed the package build well with this patch and ld.gold. But somewhat better solutions (using configure.ac?) would be possible.

I'll report this to upstream.
I've hit this too when doing bug 427544. Do I understand correctly that this bug has been known, with the fix known, and patch made, but untouched for more than a year?!
(In reply to comment #4) Thanks for the reminder; fixed in cvs. > Do I understand correctly that this > bug has been known, with the fix known, and patch made, but untouched for > more than a year?! I suspect that Pacho was thinking that the underlinking issue was also present in gnome-panel-3, so he was waiting for upstream to patch it so he could backport the patch to 2.32.1. But it seems that the underlinked libm-using code was simply removed in gnome-panel-3, and upstream doesn't care about build issues only in gnome-panel-2. > 16 Oct 2012; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> > -gnome-panel-2.32.1-r1.ebuild, -gnome-panel-2.32.1-r2.ebuild, > gnome-panel-2.32.1-r3.ebuild, +files/gnome-panel-2.32.1-underlinking.patch, > gnome-panel-3.2.1.ebuild, -gnome-panel-3.4.1.ebuild, > gnome-panel-3.4.2.1.ebuild: > Fix linking failure with gold (bug #384533, thanks to Naohiro Aota).

I left it because my setup doesn't have gold linker to know if the patch really works or not and, if I don't misremember, I suggest last developer reporting this kind of bugs + patch + report to upstream to commit them if they are able to test
