Summary

This patch allows www/node to build and run on powerpc64. It fixes incorrect assumptions between ELFv1/ELFv2 and LE/BE logic.

It would be nice if you could apply files/patch-common.gypi only for elfv2, to have node available for elfv1.

Remove -mminimal-toc only on 13.

To be committed after the switch to clang.

node isn't building with llvm90 anymore due to https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43527, so patch is updated to use llvm-devel instead.

Note: this requires PPC_ABI variable with value set to "ELFv2" in order to build on powerpc64/elfv2

cflags should have -mabi=elfv2 appended. Lack of it killed the build for me.

10

Same as above.

www/node/Makefile
82

extra-patch-common.gypi is valid only for elfv2 and elfv2 will be only 13 at the moment.

This means that we can drop EXTRA_PATCHES_13 and do directly:
EXTRA_PATCHES=${PATCHDIR}/extra-patch-common.gypi

84–87

Those are not necessary. With changes in this review, this port will build on ppc64 elfv2.

Let me double check this since this dependency was added due to a bug on llvm9 and the fix candidate is still under review.

-mabi=elfv2 should not be necessary since it's the default ABI in this contex

www/node/files/extra-patch-common.gypi

Without this, I got linking errors. Do you build the current version of www/node? I built www/node 12.10.0 before without adding ABI version, but 12.11.1 doesn't build without specifying ABI.

Updated patches after tests with llvm90 as base compiler.

it is still required, or I hit PPC CRT loop issue.

I couldn't reproduce it here being both base llvm and ports llvm-devel patched for ELFv2-default.
Apparently the compiler your're using isn't generating ELFv2 by default.

Needs to be updated for 12.12.0:

1 out of 1 hunks failed--saving rejects to tools/v8_gypfiles/v8.gyp.rej
=> FreeBSD patch patch-tools_v8__gypfiles_v8.gyp failed to apply cleanly.

Other than that, fine with me.

Node compiles just fine after removing files/patch-tools_v8__gypfiles_v8.gyp. Looks like it's now not necessary.

updated patch for node-13.0

llvm-devel dependency removed since https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43527 should be fixed in FreeBSD base by commit 354339.
