Maybe you could elaborate on how did you come to the conclusion that your LDFLAGS are ignored, which ones are ignored and where's the problem. The above cryptic stuff unfortunately doesn't explain anything.

Some LDFLAGS can change existence of some sections in ELF files. I have such (at least) 2 flags in my LDFLAGS and one of them always change existence of some sections when isn't ignored.
I changed /usr/lib/portage/bin/prepstrip, so that it now additionally runs readelf and grep and copy the output to the log file.
I perform some tests (reading emerge logs) and >99,5% of results are correct.

All.

Ignoring LDLFAGS increases files sizes and decreases performance.

Comment 4 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-27 02:35:28 UTC
We currently don't have any policy about ignoring LDFLAGS being a bad thing, and adding that policy is outside the scope of this bug (unless it is documented somewhere and I'm missing it).
