>Description:
x11/vte is installed as one of many dependencies to the meta-package xfce4, 
which I actually attempted to install.

In the configure-phase, x11/vte fails with the error

checking whether cc supports -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions when linking... 
configure: error: -Bsymbolic requested but not supported by ld

Which is slightly misleading, as /usr/bin/ld (the only ld on my system) does 
actually support -Bsymbolic. A look into .work.log revealed that the real 
parameter is (as stated above, too), -Bsymbolic-functions is used, which isn't 
known to ld.

In reference to certain other PRs: the system has just been set up,  
>How-To-Repeat:
cd x11/vte
make install

no specific options or anything necessary
>Fix:
Unkown, my assumption is to patch the configure-script not to use 
-Bsymbolic-functions but -Bsymbolic .
But I cannot do that, as I am not very familiar with all that configure-magic.
