Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gecko (Nobody) <gecko@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 271475: security/nss: investigate dropping binutils https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271475 --- Description --- Chimera Linux applied patch [1] to allow build without binutils. Consider pulling [1] from cports, as this would allow to build NSS when LLVM IR is generated which is not understood by binutils. This is prerequisite for e.g. ThinLTO (LTO (fat LTO) != ThinLTO) or -fsanitize for CFI. I can't test build or runtime at the moment, but NSS with [1] applied used to build on Gentoo here (musl + LLVM without binutils or gcc, global ThinLTO).
