https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D222641 --- Comment #8 from Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Jan Beich from comment #7) There are a lot of clues in the reports. I am almost sure, that the error message comes out because in-tree ld(1) does not know about some relocation type used by some object file included into libgkrust.a. When people insta= ll the binutils from ports and set a knob to force use /usr/local/bin/ld, the build finishes successfully because new ld understands this relocation. The solution would be to force use binutils port ld(1) for linking. libgkrust.a is produced by the rust compiler, unless I am wrong. It probab= ly triggers some code generation paths in llvm backend which caused to issue unusual relocations, which typically not created by clang. So the C compilation is not affected and do not trip old linker in base. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
