In a clang-17[default-libcxx] environment, net-wireless/bluez-5.70 will fail to link during emerge with the following error message:
```
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'global' to symbol 'error' failed: symbol not defined
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'global' to symbol 'debug' failed: symbol not defined
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [Makefile:6203: src/bluetoothd] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:4556: all] Error 2
```

This can be avoided by passing "-Wl,--undefined-version" to LDFLAGS.

Attaching logs.

parona, did you ever send this to the ML? (see comments on https://github.com/bluez/bluez/pull/623)

[Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo 2024-02-02 15:10:15 UTC]

clang-lld_tinderbox has reproduced this issue with version 5.72 - Updating summary.

[Comment 4 vadorovsky 2024-02-15 13:02:23 UTC]

I don't see this patch being sent to the ML. And bluez doesn't accept Github pull requests.

So far I just applied it to my private overlay and I can confirm it works:

https://gitlab.com/vadorovsky/overlay/-/commit/4f3956048938ba1aa84d19f96cfeaa06f0aa3ea9

But it would be awesome to upstream it.

Is this still valid with 5.79?

I get no issues building 5.79.
