Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gecko mailing list
<gecko at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 247118: mark www/firefox broken on powerpc64-12
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247118



--- Description ---
The good news is that even without patches, Firefox now builds on powerpc64-13.

The bad news is that it does not on powerpc64-12.

The worse news is that even though the error mentioned in this patch can
actually be fixed by some further work (patch on request), it is still
insufficient.

That underlying failure is the following:

  /usr/local/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++

and that flag is provided from somewhere deep in the Rust build glue.

IMHO this is not worth chasing down.
