Simple (?) linking issue. I have flex installed et al... but I don't remember what to do in type of case (compiled at hand a little parser wich has lex).

What to do? to provide?

emerge --info sys-process/at has some interesting lines at the end:
---
sys-process/at-3.1.16::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="pam (-selinux)" ABI_X86="64"
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe -floop-interchange -ftree-loop-distribution -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -ftree-vectorize"
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe -floop-interchange -ftree-loop-distribution -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -ftree-vectorize"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-fuse-ld=bfd"
---
No LTO related flags compared to default FLAGS.
Comment 5 Jiří Moravec 2016-08-11 14:20:50 UTC
I encountered identical problem. My solution was emerge 'sys-devel/flex' package with '-fno-lto -fno-use-linker-plugin' flags. Then problem disappeared even when 'sys-process/at' was merged with '-flto -fno-fat-lto-objects' flags.

That's annoying because flex is built with LTO... however flex has only /usr/lib/libfl{,_pic}.a--archive the and DSO (dynamically shared object). So, it should work? yes it should!

I've just investigated this and the following patch resolve the issue even when compiling at with LTO flags.

Compile fine when flex is copiled with LTO flags... and even at.

at-yywrap-lex.yy.c.patch

this isn't the right route to go.  libfl.a should have a libyywrap.o, and it should be exporting a yywrap symbol.  if it's not, then focus on that rather than the at package.

please attach the build log for flex and the output of:
  readelf -sW /usr/lib*/libfl*.a

I have the same problem on an ~amd64 machine with gcc-6.3.0.

Here are the requested pieces of information.

For me rebuilding flex without lto also solved the problem.
Comment 11 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2022-07-22 15:12:19 UTC
I can't seem to reproduce this.  If its still a problem on 3.2.5 then please reopen this bug
