I am trying to compile qtbase recipe with CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in yocto-project. I have added the following lines in qtbase recipe.
CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS are used to add instrumentation of code to find the code coverage.
CFLAGS += "-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
CPPFLAGS += "-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
LDFLAGS are used for linking.
LDFLAGS += "-lgcov --coverage"

After a lot of research, I am able to find an answer to my question. I have to add the following line in recipe to remove gold linker.
QT_CONFIG_FLAGS += " -no-use-gold-linker"
