+{{{
+/usr/bin/gold: fatal error: out of file descriptors and couldn't close any
+}}}
+
+This is a bug in Gold Linker. See [http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10708 here][[BR]]
+To fix this try the following with root privileges and build:
+{{{
+ulimit -n 65535
+}}}
+
+If you don't have root privileges you should add the following in ''/etc/security/limits.conf'' file
+{{{
+* hard nofile 65535
+}}}
+
+This might need restarting X11/reboot.
+
+If you wan't a quick temporary workaround, try the following. (Tested in Ubuntu 10.10)
+{{{
+sudo -s;
+ulimit -n 65535;
+exec su - yourusername
+}}}
