Created attachment 178713 [details] s390x-binutils support Add binutils support for s390x. Straight forward, as, e.g., aarch64. New files in devel/s390x-binutils ; new patch file added to the binutils port.
Maintainer feedback?
I am resetting this to ports@ as it's approaching the end of year 2 waiting...
please commit it, you know 2 weeks time out would have applied long ago :)
I am not a ports person and it likely needs updates and fixing by now. I am happy to test if someone can properly do it.
Any ports committer, can you please have a look. It's such a simple child-port.
Created attachment 206345 [details] Updated patch for latest ports Updated the patch to the latest binutils in the ports tree.

Can this been upstream, I am working on upgrading binutils, and the fact this has not been upstreamed is adding pain to that work.
(In reply to Baptiste Daroussin from comment #9) I dunno who can upstream things to binutils; @jhb maybe? Otherwise I'd sadly say, ditch the child port again. A lot has changes in the last 3 years and I hope by the time should I ever look at this again, lld will also support system z or that support can emerge at least.
