Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-03-27 13:08:48 UTC
I'm working on switching to LLVM's lld linker as the FreeBSD system linker (/usr/bin/ld)[1], and the port in this PR is reported as a new failure in the exp-run, PR 214864.

An excerpt from the build log[2]:
---
ld: error: unknown argument: -fstack-protector
ld: error: unknown argument: -fPIC
ld: error: unable to find library -lc
ld: error: unable to find library -lm
ld: error: unable to find library -lpthread
---

Known issues in this port or in lld that affect this port:
(1) Passing compiler flags to the linker, such as -fPIC.

(2) lld has no built-in search paths (/lib, /usr/lib). Normally the linker is invoked from the compiler driver, and the search paths are added by the compiler. If lld is invoked directly library search paths must be specified explicitly, with -L/lib -L/usr/lib.

FreeBSD 11 and later have lld available as /usr/bin/ld.lld, so one simple option for testing is to just symlink /usr/bin/ld to ld.lld (and restore it to ld.bfd).

A port Makefile knob, LLD_UNSAFE=yes, exists to indicate that a port does not work with lld, and requires either /usr/bin/ld.bfd or binutils from ports. This should work for the common case of ports written in C using GNU autoconf; it may have no effect on other ports.

Comment 1 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-03-27 19:58:40 UTC
> ld: error: unknown argument: -fstack-protector

-fstack-protector is added to LDFLAGS by the framework:
> $ make -V LDFLAGS
> -fstack-protector

You may want to fix it there.

Comment 3 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-03-27 20:59:49 UTC
(In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #1)
LDFLAGS added by bsd.ssp.mk are intended to be passed to the compiler driver used for linking, not to the linker directly; CC'd bdrewery for any further comments.

  Switch to ld.bfd by default as ld.ldd doesn't have built-in default
  output target.
