Firefox build.log without fix

Hello,

I was failing to build Firefox for a while thinking it will get sorted out with an update. But it did not. While reading the Clang Gentoo Wiki [1], I learned about building packages with clang and they suggest the following env update in a per-package basis:

/etc/portage/env/compiler-clang
```
CC="clang"
CXX="clang++"
LDFLAGS="-fuse-ld=lld -rtlib=compiler-rt -unwindlib=libunwind"
```
After I did this for Firefox, it could compile properly.

Please find attached the build.log of Firefox without the fix above (so emerged as-is without any change), called `firefox-build-fail.7z`.

firefox-build-fail.log.xz

(please don't use 7z for logs, re-attaching your log using xz for convenience)
Comment 5 Adel KARA SLIMANE 2021-05-27 17:54:47 UTC
Noted! I will use `xz` to compress logs from now on.

 9:15.60 ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: _Unwind_Resume

Are you using default-* flags on sys-devel/clang by any chances? "Normally" setting anything clang-related isn't needed for firefox[clang]

`emerge -pvq sys-devel/clang` output might help

Probably(?) a duplicate of bug #791430

Well, only when logs are over 1MB though, leave uncompressed otherwise.

Yes I do have `default-compiler-rt default-lld` USE flags enabled. Now that you bring it up this must be the culprit !

```
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/clang-12.0.0-r1  USE="default-compiler-rt default-lld static-analyzer xml -debug -default-libcxx -doc -test" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" LLVM_TARGETS="AMDGPU BPF NVPTX (X86) -AArch64 -ARC -ARM -AVR (-CSKY) -Hexagon -Lanai -MSP430 -Mips -PowerPC -RISCV -Sparc -SystemZ -VE -WebAssembly -XCore" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_8 -python3_7 -python3_9"
```

It really seems like it! And I seem to have more information on the matter, then. I will post there my fix and see if it fixes his issue.

> Well, only when logs are over 1MB though, leave uncompressed otherwise.

Yes, exactly.
