Emerging fbreader with gold works fine, but the resulting binary does not run. (It complains about a missing symbol "initLibrary" in one of the so's installed by fbreader.) Re-setting the linker to ld.bfd and re-emerging fbreader fixes the problem. More info later...
Please try fbreader-0.99.2

I added issue upstream https://github.com/geometer/FBReader/issues/233

I can repro with 0.99.4-r2. CC-ing the current maintainer. Please at least try to work it around with -fuse-ld=bfd.
commit 31ace4f36832baf4083cad886a37b3bae0a0bfcf Author: Andrey Grozin <grozin@gentoo.org> Date: Wed Aug 31 20:06:44 2016 +0700 app-text/fbreader: link with bfd Bug: 437262 Package-Manager: portage-2.3.0 Please check that this workaround with -fuse-ld=bfd actually works on a system where gold is installed. I don't use gold (I prefer my system to just work, in particular, I use fbreader every day). At least, on my computer this patch does not break fbreader.
