Re: Our ld doesn't like elf_aarch64: error: unknown emulation

Hello,

I instructed port to use binutils from ports (version 2.40 native) instead
of base:

`/usr/local/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf_aarch64`

```
/usr/local/bin/ld -V |grep aarch64
   aarch64cloudabi
   aarch64cloudabib
   aarch64elf
   aarch64elf32
   aarch64elf32b
   aarch64elfb
   aarch64fbsd
   aarch64fbsdb
   aarch64haiku
   aarch64linux
   aarch64linux32
   aarch64linux32b
   aarch64linuxb
   aarch64pe
```

Any clues about "elf_aarch64" and "aarch64elf" mismatch?

Thanks,
