There are many ebuilds using strip-flags to filter potentially dangerous flags, which is OK, but it also filters -fuse-ld=xxxx flag, which is not correct (or it should not) since that flag does not change compilation but linking, therefore should be respected (unless for example, forcing to bfd linker is wanted, like I've seen in other ebuilds)
Yeah, I think allowing -fuse-ld= is reasonable.
Would you like to give it a try yourself? Should be a matter adding a template to https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/flag-o-matic.eclass#n36
