>Description:
webkit in x11/qt4-libs assumes unconditionally, that GNU ld is used as linker and inserts the flag "--gc-sections". This fails e.g. when using Sun ld.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
A quick fix is to remove this flag:

A better fix would be to check for the specific OS (actually the linker).

As QT Bug Tracker requires registration, I have not reported this upstream.

Globally worked around for darwin/sunos:
platform/SunOS.mk
84:BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=	rm:-Wl,--gc-sections

platform/Darwin.mk
165:BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=	rm:-Wl,--gc-sections

One could argue "perhaps we should upstream this", but it's qt4, so not going to happen.
THanks for the report!
