(In reply to Jan Beich from comment #7)
There are a lot of clues in the reports. I am almost sure, that the error
message comes out because in-tree ld(1) does not know about some relocation
type used by some object file included into libgkrust.a. When people install
the binutils from ports and set a knob to force use /usr/local/bin/ld, the
build finishes successfully because new ld understands this relocation.
The solution would be to force use binutils port ld(1) for linking.
libgkrust.a is produced by the rust compiler, unless I am wrong. It probably
triggers some code generation paths in llvm backend which caused to issue
unusual relocations, which typically not created by clang. So the C
compilation is not affected and do not trip old linker in base.
