I'm working on switching to LLVM's lld linker as the FreeBSD system linker (/usr/bin/ld)[1], and the port in this PR is reported as a new failure in the exp-run, PR 214864. An excerpt from the build log[2]: --- + ld -o mbld/mbld /wrkdirs/usr/ports/lang/myrddin/work/mc/rt/_myrrt.o mbld/deps.o mbld/main.o mbld/util.o mbld/libs.o mbld/syssel.o mbld/config.o mbld/opts.o mbld/subtest.o mbld/types.o mbld/test.o mbld/install.o mbld/parse.o mbld/build.o -Llib/thread -lthread -Llib/bio -lbio -Llib/regex -lregex -Llib/std -lstd -Llib/sys -lsys ld: error: <internal>: section sh_addralign is not a power of 2 + true ./mbldwrap.sh: mbld/mbld: not found Unable to run mbld ; have you build successfully --- lld is more strict about invalid data in ELF objects. FreeBSD 11 and later have lld available as /usr/bin/ld.lld, so one simple option for testing is to just symlink /usr/bin/ld to ld.lld (and restore it to ld.bfd). A port Makefile knob, LLD_UNSAFE=yes, exists to indicate that a port does not work with lld, and requires either /usr/bin/ld.bfd or binutils from ports. This should work for the common case of ports written in C using GNU autoconf; it may have no effect on other ports.

Workaround the issue by adding a binary alias to ld.bfd to fix the build for now. PR: 226986 Reported by: emaste Changes: head/lang/myrddin/Makefile
