https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D241257 --- Comment #5 from Mike Cui <cuicui@gmail.com> --- I agree that WITH_SHARED_TOOLCHAIN should be the default. But here one small reason I care about having statically linked pre-built toolchain binaries. I have a really slow Intel Atom machine, buildworld on = this machine takes 10+ hours, and most of that time is spent building llvm/clang twice. To save the toolchain bootstrap time, nowadays I download base.txz f= rom the release I'm upgrading to, extract /usr/bin/{cc,c++,cpp,ld} and /usr/lib/clang, then do a make buildworld WITHOUT_CROSS_COMPILER=3D1. It's a massive timesaver. Because the base toolchain binaries are static I can alm= ost always run newer version on older systems. When I tried this going to 12.1 = RC it didn't work because ld.lld depended on a libc symbol I didn't have in 11. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
