Centos 8 Build failure.

[Jeffrey Smith]

I'm trying to build V8 6.9.427.23 on CentOS 8 using GCC 8.2.1 with the following commands

gn gen --args='is_clang=false use_sysroot=false is_debug=false v8_use_snapshot=true v8_use_external_startup_data=false treat_warnings_as_errors=false v8_static_library=true v8_monolithic=true use_drfuzz=false use_libfuzzer=false v8_enable_test_features="" v8_experimental_extra_library_files=[] v8_extra_library_files=[] use_glib = false use_custom_libcxx=false use_custom_libcxx_for_host=false v8_enable_i18n_support=false' out/x64.release

ninja -C out/x64.release v8_monolith

Im getting the follwoing errors which I belive is because its using the gold linker.

Any ideas how to switch this off or am I barking up the wrong tree here and the issue is something else ?

I built v8(static v8_monolith)  7.9.317.32 on Centos 8 using clang. Building with GCC  ie; is_clang=false causes  trouble. It is not an officially supported configuration.
