Summary

Example error:

/usr/bin/ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_PC32 against symbol: gettimeofday in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC

This port links some non-PIC code, which fails with lld as it defaults to disallowing relocations against read-only segments. For i386 we can just add -znotext unconditionally: for GNU BFD ld it just affirms BFD's existing default.

Original version committed in rS479024, this review represents a preferred approach.

I am not a ports committer, so please explicitly mention approval for commit to the ports tree.

Reverse line 17 and 18 so it’s declared before variable is used

The variable substitution/evaluation is done at the end so it works both ways; my natural tendency would be to put them in the other order but this was the one used in the first instance of this approach in review D16813 / rP478120 by @mmokhi.

Any change fixing this issue was (and is) explicitly approved (subject to @emaste confidence in solution/QA) per bugzilla issue comment: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230214#c7

Does this need to be wrapped in a if defined(${LDFLAGS_${ARCH}}) block to protect a failure if the variable is not defined for the ARCH the port is being built on?

tobik added inline comments.

Why? ${LDFLAGS_${ARCH}} for some ARCH != i386 evals to an empty string, so all is good.
