linking fails with ld.gold (binutils-2.33.1) in this way:

switching to ld.bfd yields in a error-less compilation and installation on gentoo.
Forcing the ld.bfd linker was done by prepending LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,-fuse-ld=bfd" to the emerge command.
Searching around I found this:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2016-12/msg00035.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927573
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15373
Which says that ld.gold does not support the Insert statement in linker scripts.
If you want me to test something, please feel free to do so.

Similar to #31249.

It's not quite the same as #31249, although you'll get the same link errors when you remove the
INSERT BEFOREline from the linker script. ^^I don't have time to look into it today but we probably don't need the linker script if we switch to the
__executable_startsymbol provided by LLVM's and GNU ld's default linker script; runld --verboseto view it.Caveat emptor: they're not completely interchangeable because there are a number of sections in between.
__executable_startis about 8 MB below__nodetextso some code tweaking is necessary.src: use __executable_start for linux hugepages

@drwulsen Can you try #31547?
drwulsen commentedon Feb 8, 2020
Sorry for the (too) late reply; just tested and it compiled as I hoped for.
Thank you for the quick steps taken!
