+ The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
+ working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
+ on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
+ it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional

+ binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
+ will go away.
