Generally, we'd need just  a bit before that as well.  ld is used multiple
times in most cases, so knowing /where/ and /why/ it returned exit status
1 (non-zero is error) is useful.

If you take a look, chances are pretty good it's due to libstdc++ or
similar, from gcc.  If so, you need to run fix_libtool_files.sh, with the
name of the affected /old/ version of gcc you want to replace in the *.la
files with the new one.  IOW, don't put your /current/ gcc version in, but
the one that's giving problems.

If that doesn't work, remerging the package owning that *.la file will
almost certainly do the trick.  You can find the package name using 
equery belongs <file>.  (equery is part of gentoolkit, IIRC).
