            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)
          Assignee: bapt at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wblock at FreeBSD.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(bapt at FreeBSD.org)
          Assignee: bapt at FreeBSD.org

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."
