New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/34626#issuecomment-998444282 Comment: What does ghdl use libbacktrace for, specifically? > Use ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace instead (they unfortunately don't seem to do any versioning at all). I think using GCC's, since it's already there, is "reasonable". But it should be its own subpackage, the ugliness should be opt-in. > Download gcc source and build libbacktrace from that (gcc source will eventually be needed anyway for building ghdl-gcc) What does it need GCC for?
