Description Michael Rowell 2013-10-13 22:04:49 UTC 
Attempting to emerge gwave results in a linker error and failure to build. 

Relevant section of build.log:
[...]
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: xgserver.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XInternAtom'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: note: 'XInternAtom' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
[...]

This issue (or a similar one) was encountered by Arch Linux users at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gwave2/

And a similar issue (with possibly relevant info) was encountered by users of the program "gogglesmm" at https://code.google.com/p/gogglesmm/issues/detail?id=212

Suffice to say it looks like X11 must be explicitly linked somewhere.

Please comment with the output of `emerge --info` too if maintainers need it.

Sorry, meant to post it, slipped my mind. Attached.

Do please note that even though it shows LTO enabled, this is a result of my make.conf, and I did try explicitly disabling LTO using package.env, to no avail.
