Description Justin Hibbits 2014-03-12 00:00:00 UTC 
When building www/webkit-qt4 with a lang/gcc* from ports (or anything qt4), it still uses base g++ as the linker.  There is a bug in the base GNU ld which causes it to segfault when linking webkit-qt4 on PowerPC, thought to have been fixed when forcing webkit-qt4 to depend on binutils port (ports/173042), but this turned out to be incorrect.

How-To-Repeat: Build webkit-qt4 with ports lang/gcc* (done on powerpc.powerpc)

Adding 'LDFLAGS+= -B/usr/local/bin' (should probably be '${LOCALBASE}/bin', but this hack worked) in the powerpc Makefile block fixes this, too.
