A quick update: most of the required changes have now made it into LLD, and I'm currently testing with an unmodified upstream LLD. I can now build world and kernel with an out-of-tree LLD (setting XLD=...), when using these src.conf knobs: WITHOUT_BINUTILS WITHOUT_BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP WITHOUT_BOOT WITHOUT_RESCUE There's some upstream work in progress that may address the the boot issue, or at least part of it. Rescue will still be left for later. LLD 3.9 will be available once dim@'s clang390-import branch is merged to FreeBSD HEAD. Although it's a bit older than the LLD HEAD snapshot I've been using for my testing, it will facilitate further testing and experimentation with LLD (e.g. testing ports builds). _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
