I currently don't have a 11.0-CURRENT host, so I'm submitting a typescript of the build in a VM instead of a Poudriere log.

Comment 5 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-03-12 01:41:25 UTC 
I'm curious if this port was previously broken on HEAD for a reason other than the objcopy issue here; the switch to ELF Tool Chain tools passed an exp-run before I committed it.

I'll see if I can figure out what's happening here.

(In reply to Ed Maste from comment #5)

I found at least one problem: the linker scripts in ipxe create a subtly broken ELF object with overlapping sections and ELF Tool Chain objcopy does not handle this. I'll see about getting a fix upstream and/or making our objcopy more tolerant, but agree that using the ports objcopy is reasonable.
