We only ship clang in FreeBSD 9 or later, so in our own copy it can be unconditional. FreeBSD 8 and earlier still use ld 2.15, which doesn't support --hash-style. But to not inconvenience users of the clang port, it would be nice to pass it only for freebsd9 and later. > I don't see a problem with committing it upstream, but it would be nice to > pull that change in locally before 9.1 and not have to wait for LLVM 3.2 > before we got to make use of it. > > Misleading and poorly designed benchmarks on Phoronix are at stake! Sure, I'll commit this now, and merge it to stable/9 later. _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
