Re: ld: error: undefined symbol: __libc_start1

Thanks for the hint,

but I'm not so experienced. Can you elaborate more on what I should do
? I barely know how to install a port :

root@marietto:/usr/ports/security/sudo # make / make install

so,maybe you mean that I should do this ?

root@marietto:/usr/ports/security/sudo # make -Wl,--verbose

for sure not,because it does not work :

usage: make [-BeikNnqrSstWwX]
           [-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-f makefile]
           [-I directory] [-J private] [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-T file]
           [-V variable] [-v variable] [variable=value] [target ...]
