The Problem exists since git-sources-4.9-rc1 but made it in the final Kernel, the problem is known by the Kernel Bug Tracker and there is a fix for this. It is not included with gentoo-sources-4.9.0. The following compile error prevents the kernel from being build with ld.gold (tested binutils-2.26.1 and binutils-2.27): EXPORTS drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-ksyms.o LD drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/built-in.o LD drivers/firmware/efi/built-in.o LD drivers/firmware/built-in.o EXPORTS arch/x86/lib/lib-ksyms.o ld: internal error in target, at /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.26.1/work/binutils-2.26.1/gold/parameters.h:105 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:432: arch/x86/lib/lib-ksyms.o] Fehler 1 make: *** [Makefile:978: arch/x86/lib] Fehler 2 make: *** Es wird auf noch nicht beendete Prozesse gewartet.... EXPORTS lib/lib-ksyms.o ld: internal error in target, at /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.26.1/work/binutils-2.26.1/gold/parameters.h:105 Here are the Links to the kernel bug tracker and a direct link to the patch: Bugtracker: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177741 Patch: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=246881 My kernel .config: http://pastebin.com/xt9J79iq Compiling with ld.bfds works without any Problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.switch to ld.gold with binutils-config --linker ld.gold 2.make oldconfig 3.make -jN Actual Results: I only use make oldconfig, and the gold linker. Expected Results: The Compile Job breaks with the above error message Compile fine without any error.
