I received a private query about this but will follow up here because the answer may be useful to others. The concern: GNU as is still needed for skein_block_asm.s, so is this not broken? Indeed, GNU as is still needed for exactly one case in the base system, assembling skein_block_asm.s on amd64. It is still enabled via BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP there. Disabling BINUTILS (this commit) means that GNU as is no longer installed as /usr/bin/as by installworld, on any arch. We still need to address skein so that we can completely remove binutils for FreeBSD 13.0. We have a few possibilities for dealing with the assmebly implementation, but I currently plan to switch back to the C implementation for now and follow up with one of those approaches later. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
