It was fixed after 5.2.1-RELEASE and 4.10-RELEASE. Please see commit log also for details. So we decided to mark these port as BROKEN for them. However, an unconfirmed patch for rtld.c is available, and it is totally unsupported. At your own risk, and feedback is welcome. @${ECHO} "# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/ooo/patch-rtld.c" @${ECHO} "# cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf ; patch < patch-rtld.c" @${ECHO} "# make ; make depend ; make install" @${ECHO} "AT YOUR OWN RISK!" I don't recommend you to do it...even I don't confirm that patch can be applied cleanly. and in the worst case you must reinstall entier FreeBSD. I'm serious. thanks, -- NAKATA, Maho
