What is 'bfd' in this context?

In general I'd recommend keeping patched lines to a minimum (with zero being
optimal) if only to simplify future version upgrades (so there is no need to
tweak patches each time).

I'm happy to include any configurability or FreeBSD needs in the upstream
Makefile (as long as it remains cross-platform).

To the specific points:

The GITHASH definition is harmless even if git not present. The value is only
ever used in development builds, so because this port build is meant for
release builds, it it irrelevant. It is safe to patch it out as before, but see
above on minimizing patches.

The -m64 flag is unnecessary. However, I don't know if it'll work correctly as
a 32bit build. I have not tried that in many releases/years. Is that important
for FreeBSD's needs?

As to the objcopy/ld line, I'll look into a way to make this more flexible in a
way that meets the needs on all platforms. That'd be for next release, so I
guess you can retain that patch for this time.

Thanks for the initial port!
