net/ipxe in openbsd-wip seems to require the GNU linker.
2.17 from base just segfaults (certainly too old) and ld.lld(1) complains
differently, depending on what/how I build stuff:
- ld: error: section .text file range overlaps with .shstrtab
- ld: error: output file too large: 18446744073709485768 bytes
When using gld built with the diff below, ipxe.efi links fine.
Is there a reason disable it?
If udesirable by default, but a FLAVOR be acceptable that is not hooked up,
but can be depended upon in ports like ipxe needing it?
