It will be a couple/few weeks before I again have powerpc64 or powerpc access. I've just been monitoring powerpc64 & powerpc things in hopes of things working once I have access again --or at least my knowing what to do to sidestep issues and what sequence to progress in from what I had in very early 2016-June when I lost access temporarily. May be someone will have the time & knowledge to bisect the upstream binutils materials. I may figure how to sometime after I get access again. But it is not the only FreeBSD powerpc64 (PowerMac) thing that I'd likely be investigating. (Example: because of problems with sprg0-value handling for FreeBSD vs. OpenFirmware on PowerMac powerpc64's: testing usefdt=1 mode for Nathan Whitehorn in hopes of future changes avoiding OpenFirmware use from FreeBSD. Nathan put the hooks in place for testing somewhat after I'd already lost access.) I wonder if the various(?) binutil port(s) that are 2.27 based now and can be built to target powerpc64/powerpc should be marked broken for powerpc64/powerpc until this is figured out. Any ports that are only for targeting powerpc64 or powerpc probably should not be at 2.27 at this point. I've submited a bugzilla report 212868 for devel/binutils with the text of the list reports that I've quoted. > On 20 Sep 2016, at 22:56, Mark Millard <markmi at dsl-only.net> wrote: >> >> The below forward from freebsd-pcc's list confirms that binutils 2.27 not >> working for powerpc64 (& powerpc?) contexts. >> >> Note: Krzysztof Parzyszek is one of the two people that have recently been >> working on updating clang/llvm for fixing some of the issues that block >> FreeBSD from using clang for powerpc and powerpc64 for buildworld and >> buildkernel. >> >> === >> Mark Millard >> markmi at dsl-only.net >> >> On 2016-Sep-20, at 11:19 AM, Krzysztof Parzyszek <kristof at swissmail.org> >> wrote: >> >>> I've had similar problems after building gcc-4.8.
