I would like to suggest that default LDFLAGS in Gentoo contain the following
flags: "-Wl,-O1,--hash-style=gnu,--sort-common".
-O1 enables some basic optimizations.
--hash-style=gnu causes that ld creates only new GNU-style hash tables.
--sort-common causes that ld sorts the common symbols by size when it places
them in the appropriate output sections.
These options don't cause any problems, so they should be less controversial
than --as-needed.
(These options don't conflict with --as-needed, so --as-needed can be still
added to default LDFLAGS, but this thread isn't about --as-needed.)

Ditto. mips doesn't have support for .gnu.hash.
Currently --hash-style=both is set in the binutils patchset, not
the profiles so it's kind of a global setting. Can the profiles
override it?

AFAIK yes. You should be able to override it in make.defaults.

why would you be surprised ? the GNU hash style addresses a lot of issues
with the SYSV one. uClibc (well not the version in the tree) contains
optional support for it.

You can set LDFLAGS="" in a subprofiles's make.defaults.

Why not default/linux?
