Description Xuefer 2018-01-31 18:46:25 UTC

It seems toolchain-funcs.eclass do not strip ".gold" suffix from $LD before adding .bfd suffix like it should :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set LD="ld.gold" in make.conf (or env/* via package.env)
2. emerge sys-boot/grub

Actual Results:  
unable to locate a BFD linker to bypass gold

Expected Results:  
no error

Do you still have a build.log that shows the failure?

 # LD="ld.gold" emerge -v1 grub
 ...
 * Forcing usage of the BFD linker instead of GOLD
 ...

works for me as expected.
