17:08 < joshe> huh, someone in #coreboot saying they were having merely a small problem building coreboot on openbsd
so I thought that was interesting. Turns out that seabios does build ok on OpenBSD, and works ok in initial testing, with gcc 8 (as long as it's using ld.bfd not LLD). (It does fail with gcc 4). This is one of only 3 ports setup to use base-gcc on clang arches, the others: devel/arm-elf BROKEN since 2015 devel/cil sysutils/firmware/vmm Actually switching this in the ports tree at the moment is a bit awkward because it will conflict with ports using gcc 4 from ports but the diff looks like this if anyone is interested in testing. Generally I'd like to push ports to gcc 8. We already use it on aarch64. It's the wrong time to switch others now, but maybe soon after 6.5 is done .. Any thoughts on that?
