[PATCH] D56215: [lld] [ELF] Include default search paths for NetBSD driver

krytarowski added a comment.

I've grepped FreeBSD, OpenBSD and pkgsrc.

OpenBSD ports
=============

Total 2 packages there have issues with LLD.

  $ grep -r USE_LLD .
  ./devel/libcoap/Makefile:USE_LLD=       No
  ./sysutils/firmware/vmm/Makefile:USE_LLD=       No

FreeBSD ports
=============

There is a list of 140-150 unsafe (LLD_UNSAFE) packages with LLD. A
part of the entries on the list are magnified by the same
framework/piece-of-software, but different component of version.

6 ports have documented issues with search paths:

1. pdcurses
2. libds
3. evangeline
4. rexx-regutil
5. otpw
6. installwatch

The list might be incomplete.. but "thousands of monkeys fixing
packages" mentioned is strong overestimation.

pkgsrc
======

It was mentioned in 2017 (!) that rejecting teaching the driver because of packages
in pkgsrc that use `LINKER_RPATH_FLAG` (but probably not limited to this
option).

All of that looks like restricted to:

1. GCC,
2. Mercury,
3. GPS,
4. sather,
5. wmutils-core
6. aws

Most of that is probably about unneeded direct call of a linker.
Probably the list might be longer for trickier examples like emacs. (But
emacs seems to have no issues on OpenBSD and FreeBSD).
