Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked vbox@FreeBSD.org for maintainer-feedback: Bug 244603: emulators/virtualbox-ose: use contemporary GCC instead of old l= lvm https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244603 --- Description --- The bug in PR 236616 resulted in virtualbox getting pinned to llvm7. This is less than ideal, and in-fact has been broken by improvements to machine/atomic.h on x86 that require a more modern compiler. Switch the build to use GCC9. USE_GCC=3D any is not sufficient, as GCC8 doe= sn't support the feature used by atomic.h. The patches that were previously appl= ied if COMPILER_TYPE =3D=3D clang are actually needed by GCC9 as well, so make = those standard patches instead, folding the Config.kmk patches together. We should put some effort into testing llvm10 and working out why llvm brea= ks it, but fixing the build is more important at the moment. Q/A:=20 * portlint (pre-existing issues; none in current patch) * testport (-CURRENT, amd64) * run tested by madpilot@
