Hi, mpi@ already fixed some ports (audio/mpd at least) by removing -Wl,--gc-sections from the linking flags, but 'lots' of other ports using this construct fail on powerpc. Maybe we should make it a noop on this arch ?
To reproduce, try building net/ntp on macppc, ld should reliably segfault with: libtool: link: cc -o sntp -pthread -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wall -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wshadow -Winit-self -Wstrict-overflow -Wno-strict-prototypes -O2 -pipe -Wl,--gc-sections sntp.o version.o libsntp.a /usr/obj/ports/ntp-4.2.8pl6/ntp-4.2.8p6/sntp/libopts/.libs/libopts.a ../libntp/libntp.a -L.libs -levent_pthreads -levent_core -lm -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/local/lib collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped Other affected ports (probably more..): 2016-01-22/audio/ncmpc.log 2016-01-22/devel/llvm.log 2016-01-22/net/dnscrypt-proxy,-main.log 2016-01-22/net/ntp.log 2016-01-22/x11/fltk.log (all under http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net/powerpc) Landry
