AFAIK and what the bug in the commit suggests that rust can't be built with LTO without lld as the linker https://bugs.gentoo.org/947697 https://bugs.gentoo.org/948027 Try with these rust flags and see if rust packages build: RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native -C linker=clang -C linker-plugin-lto -C link-arg=-fuse-ld=mold"
I build rust packages with the following flags: LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -fuse-ld=mold -Wl,--lto-O3" RUSTFLAGS="-Ctarget-cpu=native -Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=mold -Clink-arg=-Wl,--lto-O3 -Clinker-plugin-lto=/usr/lib/llvm/20/lib64/LLVMgold.so -Zdylib-lto -Zlocation-detail=none" CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_OPT_LEVEL=3 CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_CODEGEN_UNITS=1 CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO="thin" CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_STRIP="symbols" CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_PANIC="abort" CC="clang" CXX="clang++" CPP="clang-cpp" AR="llvm-ar" NM="llvm-nm" RANLIB="llvm-ranlib" These packages build successfully: rust librsvg ripgrep zram-generator gstreamer ruff
I've been using these aggressive flag for a long time and haven't had any problems (except #951740, which has now been fixed).
