This happens because the version of ld.bfd shipped with FreeBSD is too old. Also, gold doesn't support some linker script directives. I recommend you to install binutils from ports and set the ld.bfd from binutils as default linker. Eventually (hopefully soon), FreeBSD will switch to lld as default but until then, I think it might make sense to add a check in the build script to make sure the linker version is new enough. I'll prepare a patch in the next days. Let me know if you face other problems, -- Davide _______________________________________________ swift-users mailing list swift-users@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-users
