Description Andreas Grois 2014-04-29 15:23:58 UTC

In order to build icedtea, one has to switch back to ld.bfd. If the linker is set to ld.gold, the build fails with an error message:

file java does not have a PT_PAX_FLAGS program header, try conversion

I'm not using hardened, and my kernel does not even have PAX support, so I don't really see why having no pax header should be an issue. 

The build error can be easily reproduced by emerging icedtea with the linker set to ld.gold.
