Hi,
the appearance is simply that the core X11 library is missing,
ie. that the "-lX11" part isn't working. Is there something weird about
how xlib is being built ?
ie. does libX11.so actually contain the symbol XCreateGC ?
[It is probably xcb rather that xlib though - you may want to
check how it's being built.]

As far as I can determine, there is no difference between the Gold based
Gnu linker and what came before it, apart from speed.
There is this though <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GoldIncompatibilities>.
Could it be something like libX11 being empty and relying on indirectly
linking to the xcb libraries ? I'd expect a lot of X11 applications to
break though, unless their build scripts have been updates to
explicitly link to xcb.
