            Bug ID: 237676
           Summary: [Minor] LLD Filesize and default option suggestions
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: pprocacci@gmail.com

The .comment section added by lld should be removed and made optional.

The file size using lld is unacceptable (some still use assembly) for embed=
ded
stuff.  The default is 1200% larger by default and should be minimal like g=
nu
ld.

# /usr/local/bin/ld -s -o porcupine porcupine.o
# ld --discard-all -o porcupine.lld -m elf_amd64_fbsd porcupine.o
# strip porcupine.lld
# objcopy --remove-section .comment porcupine.lld
# ls -l porcupine porcupine.lld
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   352 Apr 30 23:41 porcupine
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4320 Apr 30 23:41 porcupine.lld


Specifying `-m elf_amd64_fbsd` or similar shouldn't be necessary and should=
 be
the default (depending on platform).
