clang currently links against /usr/lib/crt0.o when building a binary with the -static -pie options. That makes such programs segfault on startup (gcc 4.9 seems to have the same problem).
When building a static PIE program, we need to link against /usr/lib/rcrt0.o, as shown below. Bitrig has this part also in their local llvm tree. I'll try to get it into upstream for clang 3.9 as well. --- tools/clang/lib/Driver/Tools.cpp.orig Fri Feb 12 23:51:41 2016 +++ tools/clang/lib/Driver/Tools.cpp Sun Jun 26 20:24:44 2016 @@ -7600,6 +7600,10 @@ void openbsd::Linker::ConstructJob(Compilation &C, con if (Args.hasArg(options::OPT_pg)) CmdArgs.push_back( Args.MakeArgString(getToolChain().GetFilePath("gcrt0.o"))); + else if (Args.hasArg(options::OPT_static) && + !Args.hasArg(options::OPT_nopie)) + CmdArgs.push_back( + Args.MakeArgString(getToolChain().GetFilePath("rcrt0.o"))); else CmdArgs.push_back( Args.MakeArgString(getToolChain().GetFilePath("crt0.o"))); Full diff against the ports tree below. ok?
