powerpc64 11.0-CURRENT portmaster lang/clang36 gets error: llvm-build: error: invalid native target: 'powerpc64' (not in project)

[Mark Millard]

Basic context (more context details listed later):

# freebsd-version -ku; uname -ap
11.0-CURRENT
11.0-CURRENT
FreeBSD FBSDG5C0 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r279514M: Wed Mar 11 19:23:14 PDT 2015     root at FBSDG4C0:/usr/obj/powerpc.powerpc64/usr/srcC/sys/GENERIC64vtsc-NODEBUG  powerpc powerpc64


The problem:

portmaster -tDK --no-confirm lang/clang36 is how I started the build.

The error report was after it reported entering the directory:

/usr/obj/portswork/usr/ports/lang/clang36/work/llvm-3.6.0.src/tools/clang/lib/Driver/

The report was:

llvm-build: error: invalid native target: 'powerpc64' (not in project)


I'd be surprised if 11.0-CURRENT vs. 10.1-STABLE matters. But powerpc64 likely does. I've not yet tried from a powerpc (non-64) FreeBSD build.

I'll note that with top -PaSCHopid I watched it compile the PowerPc code generator software: it shoudl be able to handle PowerPCs fine.

My guess is a conversion of naming conventions is required someplace:

FreeBSD using powerpc64 vs. clang using ppc64. (Big endian context.)

This likely would matter for little endian naming as well (ppc64le on the clang end of things I expect).

It used gcc5 to bootstrap as there was no clang present and that is the only gcc port installed:
