@trev is correct, binutils still has ld.bfd

Before I install binutils

17. # ld -v

19.  

So there are multiple ld binaries. /usr/local/bin/ld and /usr/local/bin/ld.bfd are same binaries.

3. MD5 (ld) = 05314dfb9130039f3d473fd71e34186f
4. # md5 ld.bfd

So there are multiple ld binaries. /usr/local/bin/ld and /usr/local/bin/ld.bfd are same binaries.

Hum, in my FreeBSD 12.0 there are also /usr/local/bin/ld and /usr/local/bin/ld.bfd, with exactly same size.

But using /usr/local/bin/ld for link with fpc crash the program, using /usr/local/bin/ld.bfd is ok.
So it is obvious that the 2 binaries are not the same.

So maybe that in the new binutils, /usr/local/bin/ld and /usr/local/bin/ld.bfd are in fact the same now.

If somebody knows the logical of the FreeBSD package, I am interested to have some explanation.

FreeBSD 12.1 does not have ld.bfd anymore

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-November/072212.html

This mostly seems to be about ld.bfd in base, for us this doesn't matters that much if the binutils in ports works.
