Description Jan Psota 2010-01-27 13:30:10 UTC 
(at least)
sys-devel/binutils-2.20.51.0.5 with USE=+gold breaks:
app-emulation/wine (tested with 1.1.36 and 1.1.37)
and net-fs/samba (tested with 3.3.10)
with USE=-gold wine works OK,
with USE=+gold wine and samba gives "Segmentation fault"

1. I tested it only on amd64.
2. older binutils (2.20.51.0.4) didn't do this.

From USE flag description:

gold:sys-devel/binutils: Use the new gold linker (written in C++) rather than the standard linker (this _will_ break things)

Also, please, don't CC individual maintainers.

btw, it cause other applications to crash too. See bug 301176 as another example.

So: not to use it?

Sorry.
I will not.

wine/samba are huge packages and gold is a ways away from even being "unstable".  per Bug 301480, USE=gold no longer exists and gold can no longer be the default `ld`.  people have to manually use `ld.gold`.
