Re: Rust on NetBSD 9

[Havard Eidnes <he%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

Hi,

more info on this issue:

Building rust 1.86.0 with LLVM 18.1.8, which was the version we
had in pkgsrc up until early May this year on NetBSD/x86_64 9.3
works just as one would expect, and produces a working compiler.

So what is it with pkgsrc LLVM 19.x which is problematic?

Just to recap my experienced situation for NetBSD/x86_64 9.3:

 * Use internal LLVM -> works (the internal LLVM is apparently
   19.x, from rust 1.82.0 up to and including 1.86.0, it gets
   bumped to LLVM major 20 in 1.87.0)

 * Use external (pkgsrc) LLVM 18.x works.

 * Use external (pkgsrc) LLVM 19.x does not work (with the error
   reported here earlier).

Regards,
