Hi there,

devel/binutils should be one of the required packages by lang/swift as without devel/binutils, lang/switf fails to compile (at the link stage) .swift files into executable files.

root@swift-jail:~ # cat test.swift 
print("test")
root@swift-jail:~ # swiftc test.swift -o test
clang++: error: invalid linker name in argument '-fuse-ld=gold'
<unknown>:0: error: link command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
root@swift-jail:~ # pkg install binutils
