Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-multimedia mailing
list <multimedia at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 230215: multimedia/libfame: fail to link with lld as /usr/bin/ld on i386
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230215



--- Description ---
The migration to the LLVM project's lld linker as the system linker
(/usr/bin/ld) for FreeBSD is in progress - it is the case for arm64 and amd64
today, and i386 will switch once ports issues are addressed - see exp-run in
PR214864.

Linking multimedia/libfame with lld on i386 fails with errors of the form:

/usr/bin/ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_32 against symbol:
_mmx_1 in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC
>>> defined in fame.lo
>>> referenced by fame_encoder_mpeg.c
>>>		  fame_encoder_mpeg.lo:(mpeg_encode_intra_mb)

/usr/bin/ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_32 against symbol:
