Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-07-30 23:57:33 UTC 
The migration to the LLVM project's lld linker as the system linker (/usr/bin/ld) for FreeBSD is in progress - it is the case for arm64 and amd64 today, and i386 will switch once ports issues are addressed - see exp-run in PR214864.

Linking graphics/freeimage with lld produces errors of the form:

/usr/bin/ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_PC32 against symbol: malloc in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC
>>> defined in /lib/libc.so.7
>>> referenced by BitmapAccess.cpp
>>>               ./Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.o:(FreeImage_Aligned_Malloc(unsigned int, unsigned int))

/usr/bin/ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_32 against symbol: .L.str.1 in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC
>>> defined in ./Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.o
>>> referenced by BitmapAccess.cpp
>>>               ./Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.o:(FreeImage_Aligned_Malloc(unsigned int, unsigned int))

How do i test this and see if I can fix it?

Nevermind found out how
Comment 3 Nathan 2018-09-10 00:44:37 UTC 
@Ed Can you retest this as I've updated this port since and forcing LLD as linker, I don't get an error on i386

Yup. Retested again, this time while running inside 12-386, also inside 11.2-386;  moving /usr/bin/ld.lld /usr/bin/ld I got no linker error

BTW, looks like it is compiling the code with -fPIC now

Since this bug report, port has been updated in r479150

Confirmed, head builds on i386 with lld as /usr/bin/ld now.
