I'm using this in CheriBSD where we're adding -fuse-ld=lld to LDFLAGS in some cases.

Does LDFLAGS contain -m32/64 -mabi and -EB/-EL as appropriate on MIPS? If not, this change will definitely break things.

It defiantly contained -EB. I'm having a hard time figuring out if it contains -m32/64 -mabi because they aren't set be default at it appears that lib32buildenv was nuked making it hard to check that case. I do see that bsd.lib.mk uses only LDFLAGS.

Adding John since he's mucked with CPU flags and libcompat lately.

Quick way to find out is to build mipselhf world using external GCC. It basically gets all things wrong re:default endianness and softfloat.

I have added -mabi=XX to both CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in my mips_xbuild branch (and should push that into head soon). That is needed for external GCC to do sane things with "unusual" ABIs like n32 and el. However, using LDFLAGS when linking instead of CFLAGS seems sensible.

kan edited edge metadata.
