--- Comment #6 from Niclas Zeising <zeising@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm very skeptical to this change.  This would mean that for every change to
llvm80 (in this case, but future versions as well) all mesa ports that
statically link to llvm would need to be bumped as well, and keeping track =
of
that would be problematic.

Looking upstream, the default is dynamic linking, which also means that sta=
tic
linking probably gets less testing, but I haven't asked around upstream.

It could be possible to create an option, defaulting it to off, for people =
who
find the extra dependency on llvm bothersome.  They would then themselves h=
ave
to keep track of any bumps to llvm and recompile mesa as needed.
