Created attachment 283671 [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!
Created attachment 295931 [details, diff] xsvg-0.2.1-build.patch Updated asneeded patch to include required libs to solve underlinking.
Created attachment 295933 [details, diff] xsvg-0.2.1-ebuild.patch Updated ebuild bumping EAPI and fixing deps: xsvg links against libX11 and libXrender, and uses headers from libXcursor and xproto.
this one still fails to build unless LDFLAGS="-lXrender -lX11" emerge -1 xsvg \ is used
Created attachment 412230 [details, diff] working patch I could build it cleanly with this patch.
