Comment 1 Ed Maste freebsd_committer 2019-07-24 19:32:28 UTC 
lld has been enabled as system linker for i386 on stable/12 in advance of 12.1 (as of a few minutes ago)
Comment 2 Ed Maste freebsd_committer 2020-06-10 02:08:27 UTC 
It looks like this port is incorrectly marked BROKEN - it builds fine with BROKEN removed.
Comment 3 Ed Maste freebsd_committer 2020-06-10 02:10:29 UTC 
(In reply to Ed Maste from comment #2)
That is, is now incorrectly marked BROKEN. It was broken with LLD in the past, but either a port update or LLD update has addressed the issue.
Comment 4 Mikael Urankar freebsd_committer 2020-06-11 15:32:23 UTC 
it's still broken for me (12.1 i386)

cc -O -I./bignum/h -I../../ocaml/byterun  -fPIC   -c -o nat_stubs.o nat_stubs.c
../../boot/ncamlrun ../../ocaml/tools/ocamlmklib -o nums bignum/o/KerN.o bignum/o/bnInit.o bignum/o/bnMult.o bignum/o/bnDivide.o bignum/o/bnCmp.o bignum/o/bzf.o bignum/o/bz.o nat_stubs.o

I haven't tried -current.
Comment 5 Ed Maste freebsd_committer 2020-06-11 16:07:20 UTC 
Ah, I tested on i386-current only - it could be that this will be solved in 12.2 with new Clang/LLVM.
Comment 6 Ed Maste freebsd_committer 2021-02-08 01:18:44 UTC 
Does it build on 12.2 now?
Comment 7 Mikael Urankar freebsd_committer 2021-02-09 09:58:44 UTC 
(In reply to Ed Maste from comment #6)
It still broken on 12.2 i386:
cc -O -I./bignum/h -I../../ocaml/byterun  -fPIC   -c -o nat_stubs.o nat_stubs.c
../../boot/ncamlrun ../../ocaml/tools/ocamlmklib -o nums bignum/o/KerN.o bignum/o/bnInit.o bignum/o/bnMult.o bignum/o/bnDivide.o bignum/o/bnCmp.o bignum/o/bzf.o bignum/o/bz.o nat_stubs.o
ld: error: relocation R_386_PC32 cannot be used against symbol BnnAdd; recompile with -fPIC

On 13 i386, the build fails with (no ld error):
gmake[2]: Entering directory '/wrkdirs/usr/ports/lang/nml/work/nml-0.92/stdlib'
../boot/ncamlrun ../nmlo  -nopervasives -c pervasives.ml

Comment 8 Ed Maste freebsd_committer 2021-07-26 14:56:57 UTC 
Remove block on 214864, ld.lld has been the system linker for some time now
