Hi!

Emerging djbfft fails with the following:

I am getting this same issue.  After some troubleshooting - I have exactly dick.  I have followed all the references online, etc.  It seems to be an issue w/ calling ld directly, but honestly I ahve no idea how to fix it.

[Comment 2 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2004-11-02 07:06:23 UTC]

The trick is that it should never have called ld directly (and didn't before 2004/10/26 13:44:04). Fixing in CVS and thanks for the hint.
