--- Comment #6 from Niclas Zeising <zeising at FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm very skeptical to this change.  This would mean that for every change to
llvm80 (in this case, but future versions as well) all mesa ports that
statically link to llvm would need to be bumped as well, and keeping track of
that would be problematic.

Looking upstream, the default is dynamic linking, which also means that static
linking probably gets less testing, but I haven't asked around upstream.

It could be possible to create an option, defaulting it to off, for people who
find the extra dependency on llvm bothersome.  They would then themselves have
to keep track of any bumps to llvm and recompile mesa as needed.
