Bug ID: 212377
Summary: devel/binutils RELRO description is not descriptive
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)

The new RELRO option is described as "enable -z relro in ELF linker by
default".
This is not useful to the reader. The name of the option implies that it
enables that feature. What the user installing a port needs to know is what
effect that option will have.
For example: "Enable Relocation Read-Only memory corruption mitigation by
default."
