This will be resolved by the changes coming in systemd-254.

It seems like the change was to force ld.bfd when building systemd-boot. This breaks Clang thin LTO with systemd with +boot and requires either a patch to disable LTO when using clang in the efi_c_ld_args or the use of package.cflags locally to disable LTO for systemd entirely.

Take it up with upstream. Nothing I can do about it.
Comment 7 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2023-09-18 01:32:21 UTC 
Fixed upstream by forcing bfd.
