error: Could not compile `libloading`.

This is suspiciously similar to bug 600390 (in rust): if something in the build system runs ld with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64 (or /usr/lib), it will fail because it picks up the wrong libbdf. I haven't tracked down what might be doing that yet.

If I temporarily unmerge binutils-libs-2.29.1-r1 (and move /usr/lib/libbfd-2.29.1.so, ignoring portage's preserved-libs protection, so it's not a particularly sane/safe workaround) the problem goes away.

This is with dev-lang/rust-1.19.0 installed. It's possible the problem does not occur if dev-lang/rust-bin is used instead.
