Description Marek Behún 2012-10-31 23:37:39 UTC
firefox-16.0.2 fails to compile with ld.bfd

the linking script uses parameter --icf=safe, which ld.bfd does not recognize.

It would be great if the firefox-16.0.2 ebuild somehow told the compilation process not to use --icf=safe, or enforced ld.gold as linker.

Reproducible: Always

Attach full build log and config.log from the part of the build that used that parameter.

1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment.
2) Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
Comment 3 Marek Behún 2012-11-03 23:43:32 UTC
It seems that I changed the linker while compiling, therefore it failed.
