Several ebuilds that had build failures with ld.gold now attempt to switch to ld.bfd automatically, but this seems to fail at least in grub and glibc. I am able to change ld to ld.bfd manually. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. binutils-config --linker ld.gold 2. emerge -1 grub:0 Actual Results: "unable to locate a BFD linker to bypass gold" Portage 2.2.14 (python 2.7.9-final-0,

this should fix it: http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/toolchain-funcs.eclass?r1=1.136&r2=1.137
