The toolchain isn't my area, but I suspect there's little enthusiasm for fixing a gcc-related problem especially one reported on amd64 - it's pretty much only still built there so that developers have an easy way to run it if they need to fix things in the base OS on the non-clang platforms which many developers don't have direct access to. If the problem remains with /usr/bin/cc (which is clang on amd64/i386/arm/aarch64/mips64) then it would be useful to include the full steps to repeat the problem - the script is mentioned but not included in the bugs@openbsd.org mail. > > > > I revisited this, and can see half of the problem, which offers a > > > > different > > > > workaround.

The commit log was "Pass -L/usr/lib to the linker in preparation for switching to lld, which does not have a default search path."
