1637957 - ./mach build on italian gentoo fails

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

The build on an italian gentoo box fails. It turns out, that setting

mk_add_options LC_ALL=C

helps, as the linker recognition otherwise fails. The linker in italian reports:

ld di GNU (Gentoo 2.33.1 p2) 2.33.1

instead of

GNU ld (Gentoo 2.33.1 p2) 2.33.1

If we don't do this, configure will happily think the linker kind is
"unknown", which then causes problems downstream.
