Hello Jan,
Thanks for the followup. Your response sounded like my build problem was
not shared by many others, so I took another look, focused on my build
environment, and tracked down the problem.
Looks like the problem was caused by having $LOCALBASE first on my path
(ie, /usr/local/bin). I suspect that's the fault of binutils, though I
didn't retest thoroughly enough to determine which binary is at fault. "ld"
seems like a likely candidate. The 10.3 /usr/bin/ld is:
GNU ld 2.17.50 [FreeBSD] 2007-07-03
While the current (ports) binutils /usr/local/bin/ld is:
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.27
Just thought I'd share that in case others report the same problem. I
didn't experience this issue prior to ff50 (but binutils may have changed
also).
