Can't build gitHEAD version on windows

[Christian Dávid]

Hi Jeff,

I do not know what "emerge --cleanbuild" does. If it means "remove the hole build folder and rebuild" then you found a bug.

Maybe gcc on Linux is more forgiving in this case, so I never saw this. However, I will try to fix this. Due to a lot of work this will probably take some time. If possible, could you file a bug report? I will mark myself as assignee so I cannot forget it.

Greetings
Christian

In fact, I've been trying this (new git) every month or so since about August 2015. As I recall, it has always had this linking problem. (In the mean time I've just been using the 4.7.2 branch because it builds.)
