In a clang-17[default-libcxx] environment, emerging app-office/libreoffice-7.5.5.2 will fail in the linking phase:
---
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'PRIVATE_1.4' to symbol '_ZN3sal13backtrace_getEm' failed: symbol not defined
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'GLIBCXX_3.4' to symbol '_ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE' failed: symbol not defined
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/app-office/libreoffice-7.5.5.2/work/libreoffice-7.5.5.2/sal/Library_sal.mk:11: /var/tmp/portage/app-office/libreoffice-7.5.5.2/work/libreoffice-7.5.5.2/instdir/program/libuno_sal.so.3] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
---

This failure can be avoided by passing "-Wl,--undefined-version" to LDFLAGS.

Attaching logs.

I can verify that I have the same issue.

#MeToo

[Comment 4 Sam James 2023-10-09 03:07:29 UTC]

meh. The upstream "fix" is to just silence it: https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/baddc742c3fe260d20d7924ab134f0fbf179fd85.

[Comment 5 Joe Kappus 2023-10-09 19:49:57 UTC]

This also happens in a clang-17[-default-libcxx] environment. The attached patch does not solve the issue for me.

[Comment 6 Daniel Dawson 2023-10-10 09:11:37 UTC]

It also does not work for me. Looking at the build log, I can't even find the option it sets anywhere. I guess it needs some changes or something.

Currently, I have to set USE=-clang to get libreoffice (any available version) to build.

[Comment 7 Gary E. Miller 2023-10-10 20:32:15 UTC]

USE="-clang" worked.  Thanks!

For the record, I still have the problem with "-clang" use.

But adding "append-ldflags -Wl,--undefined-version" for "-clang" fix this problem.

Then now I have https://bugs.gentoo.org/727188
