https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240716 --- Comment #6 from sid@bsdmail.com --- In a previous 11 release, LD did set the linker for base, kernel and ports. Then in another 11 release, and in 12.0, the LD argument in make.conf stopped working. Linking manually allowed all linkers to build ports and the world. Binutil's linker can build everything. In my last post, I left out that CC, CXX and CPP also builds ports, as well as world and kernel. XCC, XCXX and XCPP override for ports only. When a port requires a linker, it usually pulls in binutil's linker. LLVM60 and LLVM80 get pulled in as a requirement for some ports, possibly because of the linker, which is not independent of the package. These details about LD and LLVM's linkers need to be documented, or at least addressed in 12.1, stable or current. LD was intended to set the linker, and it should. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
