Ignore custom CFLAGS (e.g., -O3 -march=native) in comment 0, they're not present in the build log.
Comment 2 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-06 13:34:18 UTC
Probably affects a number of LLD_UNSAFE ports:

$ echo 'int main() {}' >a.c
$ cc a.c -lexecinfo
$ cc a.c -fuse-ld=bfd -lexecinfo
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so: undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Comment 3 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-06 16:22:38 UTC
__gcc_personality_v0 is implemented by compiler-rt, while __gxx_personality_v0 is implemented by libcxxrt. LLD appears to use its own dependency on libc++ to resolve missing symbols. Even Gold (another C++ linker) doesn't allow this.

It's weird, the __gxx_personality_v0 symbol is referenced from libunwind.pico, built during the libgcc_s build.

libunwind.pico is built from contrib/llvm/projects/libunwind/src/libunwind.cpp, which indeed is a C++ source file, so somehow this C++ specific symbol gets in, but it did not in the previous version of clang.

Investigating...
Comment 6 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-09 19:54:11 UTC
This is how libunwind.s built with clang 6.0.1 ends:

        .ident  "FreeBSD clang version 6.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_601/final 335540) (based on LLVM 6.0.1)"

        .section        .debug_line,"",@progbits
.Lline_table_start0:

Compare to this with clang 7.0.0:

        .ident  "FreeBSD clang version 7.0.0 (branches/release_70 338892) (based on LLVM 7.0.0svn)"
        .section        ".note.GNU-stack","",@progbits

For some reason, it adds these .addrsig_sym directives, but no idea what they're for.

Date: Fri Aug 10 19:57:56 UTC 2018
New revision: 337585
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/337585

Log:
  In r308100, an explicit -fexceptions flag was added for the C sources
  from LLVM's libunwind, which end up in libgcc_eh.a and libgcc_s.so.
  This is because the unwinder needs the unwinder data for its own
  functions.

  However, for the C++ sources in libunwind, -fexceptions is already the
  default, and this can have the side effect of generating a reference to
  __gxx_personality_v0, the so-called personality function, which is
  normally provided by the C++ ABI library (libcxxrt or libsupc++).

  If the reference ends up in the eventual libgcc_s.so, linking any
  non-C++ programs against it will fail with "undefined reference to
  `__gxx_personality_v0'".

  Note that at high optimization levels, the reference is usually
  optimized away, which is why we have never noticed this problem before.

  With clang 7.0.0 though, higher optimization levels don't help anymore,
  since the addition of address-significance tables [1] in
  <https://reviews.llvm.org/rL337339>.  Effectively, this always causes a
  reference to __gxx_personality_v0.

  After discussion with the upstream author of that change, it turns out
  that we should compile libunwind sources with the -fno-exceptions
  -funwind-tables flags instead.  This ensures unwind tables are
  generated, but no references to any personality functions are emitted.

In the clang700-import branch, this fix has now been merged as of r337590.  Please re-test. :)

Previous releases shouldn't be affected, this problem was only applicable to the clang700-import branch.  (E.g., due to the optimization I described, the __gxx_personality_v0 reference does not end up in libgcc_s.so with previous versions of clang.  It would only affect people who rebuilt their libgcc_s.so by hand, using -O0.)

  libgcc_s: add libm dependencies from div{d,s,x}c3

  compiler-rt's complex division support routines contain calls to
  compiler builtins such as `__builtin_scalbnl`.  Unfortunately Clang
  turns these back into a call to `scalbnl`.

  For now link libm's C version of the required support routines.

  compile libunwind c source with -fexceptions

  When an exception is thrown the unwinder must unwind its own C source
  (starting with _Unwind_RaiseException in UnwindLevel1.c), so it needs to
  be built with unwinding data.
