Created attachment 275657 [details] Build log Hello there! You're getting this bug because the package in Summary failed to build in my tinderbox using the gold link editor from binutils. Before closing the bug as INVALID let me explain why this is still important! The gold link editor does not support underlinking of shared objects, which is something I have described in my blog post: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2010/11/26/it-s-not-all-gold-that-shines-why-underlinking-is-a-bad-thing Even the basic link editor (ld.bfd) has an option to support this but it is a heck to enable and get passed, so linking with gold is simply quicker. Fixing underlinking provides optimized --as-needed builds (because the "softer" version no longer need to recover libraries that are underlinked), so it is a Good Thing To Do. Thank you very much for the attention!
Okay, that's another nail in the coffin for this version of svxlink. They have _finally_ released a new version... I think moving to that will be our best bet. I've been trying to figure out how to split this package into a few separate ebuilds, but unfortunately the upstream package is not constructed to, permit the parts to be compiled separately. (It isn't autotools based.)
Could you provide some details as to how I check for underlinking? It is not apparent from your build log how I can reproduce the issue… and I cannot possibly fix a bug I cannot reproduce. The URL you link to, suggests I should be using the gold linker… on the same site you mention that this was the exact linker, that was responsible for breaking the tinderbox you had set up. That doesn't inspire confidence in its reliability.
Lack of progress and masked for 7 months with a "removal in 30 days" tag. I removed the package.
