Created attachment 873141 [details] emerge --info output When app-emulation/virtualbox-7.0.12 is compiled with ld.gold instead of ld.bfd, virtualboxvm fails with the following error: $ virtualboxvm VirtualBoxVM: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM.so",) failed: /usr/lib64/virtualbox/UICommon.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8QPrinterC1ENS_11PrinterModeE $ When compiling it wirh ld.bfd, everything is fine.
At this point, I really beg people to not use gold. Use bfd, lld, or mold. gold isn't really maintained upstream at the moment.
Yes, gold is no longer a thing. I don't install it anymore. When I will have some time I will try with lld and mold, if it doesn't work I'll force bfd in the ebuild. But please consider this low prio. Thanks!
I checked lld, I'll add tc-ld-force-bfd to the next release.

Viorel, I'm wondering about the old ebuild code in src_configure() and src_prepare() that have references to bug #488176: src_prepare() { [...] # Do not use hard-coded ld (related to bug #488176) sed -e '/QUIET)ld /s@ld @$(LD) @' \ -i src/VBox/Devices/PC/ipxe/Makefile.kmk || die [...] } src_configure() { tc-ld-disable-gold # bug #488176 [...] } Do these make sense with the code you added to src_configure()? + # bug #916002 + tc-ld-force-bfd Cheers, Wolfram
The sed is ok, use $(LD) instead of ld. tc-ld-disable-gold is no longer needed but the call to tc-ld-force-bfd should be moved before LDFLAGS. Thanks for spotting this! I'll update the ebuilds.
