[barracuda156]

This is on Tiger in bootstrap prefix. All settings are vanilla, all portfiles are stock ones.

I have booted the Quad from the same drive with Tiger, ran sudo ./port -v sync and sudo ./port -v install legacy-support, it reinstalled the linker, and legacy-support has built. Even more strange. I literally did nothing else beyond that. No changes in config, no custom command line calls.

The only difference was that initially on a PowerBook I used sudo ./port -v -N install curl instead of calling ports separately.

yeah, you were somehow using the wrong linker.

/usr/bin/ld:

nobody will ever know why, so much going on there, and doesn’t matter now
