I might be able to hard-code this in the configure script.

I'm not sure. I've never actually used MCLinker. First step is to create the port so I can easily install it :-) Btw, do you guys have any plans for a GNU ld replacement? Progress on the more "official" lld (http://lld.llvm.org/) seems slow, and MCLinker more promising. Hence my feeble attempts :-) Thanks, Erik_______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
