Yet another bites of an old bintuils installed in the system, which leads to an error and failed a building of glibc this time. The last time it was a kernel building failure, check out here – . Most of the time, these kind of errors occurs when upgrading an old system, so as soon as building the new binutils package with emerge it is mandatory to remove the old one to minimize compiling errors of this sort.
This time the error under Gentoo system is (but it could happen in any system with old and new binutils!):
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--no-dynamic-linker' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
To fix the error simply remove the (all) old binutils package(s) with emerge command:
[root@srv ~]# emerge -vaC =binutils-2.25-r1
* This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use
* `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before
* removing packages.
