gperf is a tool that generates perfect hash functions. It is used as a bootstrap tool when building gcc, and by a few ports. Today we unconditionally build and install gperf, including on clang architectures where it's not required. I plan to switch this so that gperf is only built when gcc is (that is, make it conditional on MK_GCC). The ports tree will use the devel/gperf port if gperf is not available from the base system. A ports exp-run is planned to verify this works, and I expect to commit the change after that's confirmed. PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/194103 Review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D886 -Ed
