Created attachment 526870 [details] sys-devel:gcc-7.3.0-r1:20180408-114702.log.7z
building gcc:7 with ld.gold as current default get stuck forever at the point just before the final reported Ctrl C within attached ebuild.log.
I have also hit "emerge =sys-devel/gcc-7.3.0" hanging using the gold linker. Changing back to ld.bfd fixed it for me too.
Does it still happen?
Minor note: LDFLAGS="-Wl,-flto -Wl,-fuse-ld=bfd" is not a valid way to pass flags to ld. It should be: LDFLAGS="-flto -fuse-ld=bfd"
