            Bug ID: 231459
           Summary: security/openssl: fails to link with lld as system
                    linker on i386
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest

/usr/bin/ld: error: unknown argument: -Bforcearchive
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This happens because OpenSSL tries to detect GNU ld with:

./work/openssl-1.0.2p/Makefile.shared:DETECT_GNU_LD=($(CC) -Wl,-V /dev/null
2>&1 | grep '^GNU ld' )>/dev/null

and provides a different link invocation for non-GNU ld, which ends up with the
-Bforcearchive flag (which is not supported by GNU ld or lld)

See
https://www.sigbus.info/software-compatibility-and-our-own-user-agent-problem.html
for some more info.

A patch like this is probably sufficient:

-./work/openssl-1.0.2p/Makefile.shared:DETECT_GNU_LD=($(CC) -Wl,-V /dev/null
2>&1 | grep '^GNU ld' )>/dev/null
+./work/openssl-1.0.2p/Makefile.shared:DETECT_GNU_LD=($(CC) -Wl,-V /dev/null
2>&1 | grep 'GNU' )>/dev/null
