Bug 608232 – sys-kernel/gentoo-sources fails to build with ld.gold since 4.8

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jorgicio 2017-02-04 16:45:11 UTC]

Hi!

Since 4.8 kernel release, it fails to build when I use ld.gold as a linker.
The issue happens in upstream. However, I found a patch to get rid with this.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177741

I'll attach it then.
Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

i got the mail wrong.
This looks like the bisected bad commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/7f2084fa55e6cb61f61b4224d4a8bafaeee55f9f

reversing this make ld.gold work again

I just built 4.17.1 with the gold linker.  Closing as fixed. Let us know if you are still having issues with later kernels.
