Using gold as the system linker, app-text/tesseract-3.04.01 (which is stable on amd64) fails to build because its API library references media-libs/tiff symbols yet build scripts do not link against libtiff:

/bin/sh ../libtool  --tag=CXX   --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++  -O2 -pipe -march=native -std=c++11 -lOpenCL -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--sort-common -O2 -pipe -march=native -o tesseract tesseract-tesseractmain.o libtesseract.la   -lrt -llept -lpthread

Manually adding -ltiff to the list of libraries in api/Makefile allows tesseract to build successfully, then again it is not a proper solution because e.g. the pkg-config file it installs still doesn't list that library.

Thanks for taking this upstream too! 3.05 looks close to release also: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/715

I will see what to do between backport, bump, or both

I added 3.05.00 in tree with backported patch, let's see how this version behaves (minimal tests OK)
