Naturally, different linkers will produce different results, just like different compilers do. The result mostly depends on the optimization options that are enabled (and available) on each linker. Here is one possible reason for the differences you see, but there can be numerous others: -fipa-icf Perform Identical Code Folding for...

So, full solution is: mkdir -p /etc/portage/env echo 'LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,-fuse-ld=bfd"' >>...
