Blender fails to compie with `-fuse-ld=bfd`

Blender really had me stumped on this one for days, but then I thought: "Hey, here's a silly idea. How about I try gold?" Well, to my surprise, it actually worked. I added this to package.cflags/blender.conf:

<=media-gfx/blender-2.79b-r1 *FLAGS-="-fuse-ld=bfd" *FLAGS+="-fuse-ld=gold"

Here is the build log of the ld.bfd build attempt: blender make.txt

I do not use prelink. Also, I am aware that you can select the linker through binutils, but this just feels right somehow.

Here are further details on OpenImageIO and the Boost library: emerge --info openimageio boost.txt

Have a nice day!

Edit

Here are further details on Blender: emerge --info blender.txt

I realize that this is most likely limited to Blender 2.79, so I will close this ticket in case that the issue does not persist through to 2.80.

I think it's safe to assume at this point that this issue is obsolete.
