Things are a bit strange: there is a  static libcompiler_rt library in 
/usr/lib. A few executable in /usr/bin seems to still use libgcc (groff/troff 
stuff mainly). So maybe this is still in a transitional stage... Base cc/c+++ 
seems to be sane since I managed to rebuild all the installed ports.

Thanks, I was not sure I did not miss some pre-release instruction to migrate 
settings as nothing would show up in pkg info and such.

I think so, but I am not sure. Is libcompiler_rt found? It seems likely the
old library is retrained for existing images linked to it while
libcompiler_rt is now used when new images are linked. (N.B. This is a
guess, though.)

I don't have the message handy, but several issues popped up that forced
the delay if the packaging of teh base system until at least 11.1. You can
probably look in the current@ archive to find the note.

Two questions for FreeBSD 11: libgcc & pkg

[Matthieu Volat]

Hi, if somebody would be kind enough to educate me, I've two small questions 
about the 11 release.


First, https://wiki.freebsd.org/WhatsNew/FreeBSD11 mention that libgcc was 
replaced by libcompiler_rt, yet after the freebsd-update 
upgrade/install/install/portmaster -af/install routine, I still have a 
(recently updated) libgcc:

  # ls -l /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
  -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  56608 Jul 26 14:13 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

Is it normal?


Second question is about the talks that the base system would be
pkg-ized (https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase). Do base pkgs share the same pkg 
database as ports pkgs? Can I now damage base installation with bad pkg usage?


Thanks a lot for answers!
