They are dynamic, this was switched years ago. /usr/bin/clang: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 14.3, FreeBSD-style, stripped > > > > 15.0: > > gmake -s -j 8 19.90s user 3.02s system 773% cpu 2.96s (2.963) total > > gmake -s -j 8 19.90s user 3.18s system 774% cpu 2.98s (2.979) total > > gmake -s -j 8 20.24s user 2.90s system 770% cpu 3.00s (3.005) total > > gmake -s -j 8 19.92s user 3.25s system 771% cpu 3.00s (3.003) total > > gmake -s -j 8 20.25s user 2.95s system 772% cpu 3.01s (3.006) total > But 15.0 is definitely dynamically linked. > > clang is enormous C++ binary with enormous amount of relocs: > $ ldd /usr/bin/cc > /usr/bin/cc: > libprivateclang.so.19 => /usr/lib/libprivateclang.so.19 > (0x27417e200000) > libprivatellvm.so.19 => /usr/lib/libprivatellvm.so.19 (0x274183e00000) > > $ objdump -R /usr/lib/libprivateclang.so.19 | wc -l > 232977 > $ objdump -R /usr/lib/libprivatellvm.so.19 | wc -l > 140712 > > > > > > user time *skyrocketed* >
