Description Arusekk 2025-01-09 10:46:02 UTC

Same as in #937354, if mold linker is used, it fails due to an unsupported command line option --cref.

I also posted a comment to the relevant upstream mold issue about the problem at https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/573#issuecomment-2579809594

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up mold like in the Gentoo Wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mold
2. Try to emerge app-misc/beep
Actual Results:  
mold: fatal: unknown command line option: --cref
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Expected Results:  
Package installs.

It can be worked around by either removing --cref flag from GNUmakefile, or by disabling mold for the package.

Posting here mainly in order to add this to the mold metaissue, but a workaround would also be fine for me.
