Description emaste 2016-08-23 22:41:14 PDT 
While trying to link FreeBSD/mips with lld I encountered an error:

line 12: unknown command start.o                                                
    start.o(.text*)                                                             
    ^                                                                           

The source linker script is here: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/boot/mips/uboot/ldscript.mips?revision=296183&view=markup#l12

It appears that the filename spec in most of our (FreeBSD's) linker scripts includes a wildcard at the beginning (e.g. *crtbegin.o, *crtend?.o), while this one mips linker script is the one case that has an explicit, non-wildcard path.
