It seems that firefox uses lld when clang is used as a compiler, but the package dependency states that I need both gold(from llvm[gold]) and lld if [clang] flag is turned on. I think the gold linker can be safely removed from DEPEND when the [clang] flag is enabled. Reproducible: Always
I've auto-removed [gold] from the ebuild since firefox-69.* or so myself, and have llvmgold is not installed (also -gold on binutils) I know it _did_ use to be needed but I'm not sure anymore. Firefox does have a bundled LLVMgold.so.zip though (maaaaybe it's getting used when normally you'd want the system's? not sure though), so I kinda suspected there could be something more going on so I never opened a bug.
