Bug 725724 – sys-boot/lilo fails to compile

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 723262
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-05-28 07:14:08 UTC]

This is an auto-filed bug because sys-boot/lilo fails to compile.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

NOTE:
If you need further logs, feel free to ask.

Confirming, same here. USE flags:

-device-mapper minimal -pxeserial -static

The problem is during linking:
