build failure on FreeBSD

Using Swift
1

Attempting to build swift from github from Dec 26th HEAD - after a few adjustments I have gotton to this point where :

   [475/486] Linking CXX shared library lib/swift/freebsd/x86_64/libswiftCore.so

   FAILED: : && /usr/local/bin/clang++36 -f .....
   /usr/bin/ld:/sw/src/build/Ninja-DebugAssert/swift-freebsd-x86_64/./lib/swift/freebsd/x86_64/swift.ld:10: syntax error

I put the whole paste in here if it is helpful:

I saw a bugzilla post on this but it wasn't clear from it what can be
done to solve the problem:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19326

So, I have a few of the binaries built but not quite there yet :-)
% uname -a
FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r292747: Sat Dec 26 08:34:38 CST 2015

% ../build/Ninja-DebugAssert/swift-freebsd-x86_64/bin/swift --version
Swift version 2.2-dev (LLVM 3ebdbb2c7e, Clang f66c5bb67b, Swift 173fc871ff)
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.0

and again - same error, when it tries to link:

% cat hello.swift
print("hello world")

% ../build/Ninja-DebugAssert/swift-freebsd-x86_64/bin/swiftc hello.swift /usr/bin/ld:/sw/src/build/Ninja-DebugAssert/swift-freebsd-x86_64/lib/swift/freebsd/x86_64/swift.ld:10: syntax error
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
<unknown>:0: error: link command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This is on FreeBSD head, clang-3.6 for bootstrapping the swift process
and tip of the trees for all the swift code today.

This happens because the version of ld.bfd shipped with FreeBSD is too
old. Also, gold doesn't support some linker script directives. I
recommend you to install binutils from ports and set the ld.bfd from
binutils as default linker.
Eventually (hopefully soon), FreeBSD will switch to lld as default but
until then, I think it might make sense to add a check in the build
script to make sure the linker version is new enough.
I'll prepare a patch in the next days.

Let me know if you face other problems,
