In a clang-17[default-libcxx] environment, trying to emerge libffi-3.4.4-r1 fails during the linking phase:
---
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBFFI_BASE_8.0' to symbol 'ffi_java_raw_call' failed: symbol not defined
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBFFI_CLOSURE_8.0' to symbol 'ffi_prep_java_raw_closure' failed: symbol not defined
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBFFI_CLOSURE_8.0' to symbol 'ffi_prep_java_raw_closure_loc' failed: symbol not defined
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1102: libffi.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libffi-3.4.4-r1/work/libffi-3.4.4-abi_x86_32.x86'

---

This error can be bypassed by issuing "-Wl,--undefined-version" to LDFLAGS.

Attaching logs.
