Hi,
lang/ocaml port is marked as broken on aarch64 and I would like to
contribute and have it fixed.

The broken reason is incorrect as of now:
BROKEN_aarch64=         Does not build: sh: as: not found

If I comment this line out, "as" is correctly found given the port
dependency from binutils:
BUILD_DEPENDS=  as:devel/binutils

The build process stops with:
ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC
against symbol: camlUnix in readonly segment; recompile object files with
-fPIC or pass '-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output
>>> defined in unix.a(unix.o)
>>> referenced by unix.ml:863
>>>               unix.o:(camlUnix__waitpid_non_intr_1853) in archive unix.a

ld: error: too many errors emitted, stopping now (use -error-limit=0 to see
all errors)
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
File "caml_startup", line 1:

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/lang/ocaml

Trying to fix this issue by adding -fPIC to CONFIGURE_ARGS does nothing, in
the sense that the option actually adds -fPIC to ld args, but the error
remains.

So I went the other way and changed LDFLAGS as suggested by the error
message:
LDFLAGS_aarch64=        -Wl,-z,notext

In this case I hit an obscure error when making with make -j <numcpus>:
boot/ocamlrun ./ocamlopt -g -nostdlib -I stdlib -I otherlibs/dynlink

If I continue without -j, ld fails with a similar error:
ld: error: relocation R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC cannot be used against
symbol camlUnix; recompile with -fPIC

Note: -fPIC is enabled.

I am stuck, can someone suggest how to proceed? Thank you.

BR,
