Description ge1ger 2018-10-21 23:02:14 UTC

On October 19th, dev-libs/protobuf-3.6.1 became stable. I updated my system and some packages fail to build because /usr/bin/protoc outputs the following error when it's ran:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Unknown error -1

There's a bug report here: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/4958

I temporarily solved my problem by downgrading to dev-libs/protobuf-3.5.2

Comment 1 ge1ger 2018-10-21 23:11:35 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

1. emerge dev-libs/protobuf-3.6.1
2. Run protoc

Comment 2 ge1ger 2018-10-21 23:32:19 UTC

Found the problem.

protoc won't run if it's built with ld.gold. It works fine with ld.bfd
