• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Quality Assurance

[Description Matthew Smith 2022-01-01 14:44:32 UTC]

This bug is to track packages that do not build with the sys-devel/mold linker.

I've talked with the author of mold and he pointed me out to this sheet. He already tries to build packages from gentoo repo and these are those who fails: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1LnyrUw79oY5DxBNfXGmlxr2-0n4V0AA06BzbO2cdhZg/htmlview#gid=0

app-emulation/virtualbox-7.0.14-r2 apparently has issues linking. The symptom is:

[code]
alex@cobalt ~/.VirtualBox $ VirtualBoxVM --startvm "MS-DOS 6.22"
VirtualBoxVM: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM.so",) failed: /usr/lib64/virtualbox/UICommon.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8QPrinterC1ENS_11PrinterModeE
alex@cobalt ~/.VirtualBox $ c++filt
_ZN8QPrinterC1ENS_11PrinterModeE
QPrinter::QPrinter(QPrinter::PrinterMode)
[/code]

This issue went away when I disabled use of mold for this application. Just thought you'd want to know. 

Many thanks,
Alex

x11-apps/igt-gpu-tools also segment faults in intel_gpu_frequency if linked with mold. Works just fine without mold.

Please file individual bugs and have them block this one.
