Details

Summary

btxld does not correctly handle input with other than 2 PT_LOAD segments. Passing --no-rosegment lets lld produce output equivalent to ld.bfd: 2 PT_LOAD segments and no PT_GNU_RELRO.

Do you need defined(LINKER_TYPE)?

I believe make(1) will complain about a malformed conditional without it, as unfriendly as that is.

It's a concession to people (e.g., bde) who might build these bits outside of buildworld - the idea being that the .sinclude means there will be no failure if bsd.linker.mk is not found, and in that case LINKER_TYPE will not be defined.

If we don't need to support that case we can replace the .sinclude with .include and drop the defined (LINKER_TYPE) && bit.
