            Bug ID: 226994
           Summary: devel/memleax: fails to link with lld as the system
                    linker

I'm working on switching to LLVM's lld linker as the FreeBSD system linker
(/usr/bin/ld)[1], and the port in this PR is reported as a new failure in t=
he
exp-run, PR 214864.

An excerpt from the build log[2]:
---
checking OS and machine type...
on FreeBSD.
checking libraries...
checking libunwind...
libunwind is missing.
Error: libunwind-devel is required.
=3D=3D=3D>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
---

The configure failure may be due to shared object protected visibility symb=
ol
preemption issues; setting LLD_UNSAFE=3Dyes may be a suitable workaround (t=
o use
ld.bfd).

FreeBSD 11 and later have lld available as /usr/bin/ld.lld, so one simple
option for testing is to just symlink /usr/bin/ld to ld.lld (and restore it=
 to
ld.bfd).

A port Makefile knob, LLD_UNSAFE=3Dyes, exists to indicate that a port does=
 not
work with lld, and requires either /usr/bin/ld.bfd or binutils from ports. =
This
should work for the common case of ports written in C using GNU autoconf; it
may have no effect on other ports.
