Bug 936644 – Stages contain erroneous /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/ld and friends binutils symlinks

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Sam James 2024-07-25 22:06:12 UTC]

Stages seem to contain /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/ld and friends binutils symlinks. This is problematic because GCC will look there first and ignore whatever binutils-config modifies ld and such to point to in the usual locations.

An older install of mine doesn't have them, but an install from June 2nd does. I verified the symlinks are present in stage3-amd64-desktop-systemd-20240721T164902Z.tar.xz.
