Btw if it is using musl, is it supposed to work on Darwin? I think probably no.

I removed this and it works on Darwin. Maybe -fuse-ld=bfd should be wrapped inside linux platform? Like

if (LINUX)

# if( LINK_PHASE)
#    target_link_options( "${EXECUTABLE_LINK_TARGET}" PUBLIC -fuse-ld=bfd)
# endif()

endif ()

I didn't expect musl to work on Apple at all. I probably would negate that and say if( NOT APPLE), because "bfd" isn't linux only I think.

[wenq1]

That sounds good. And freebsd guys will be more happy if so.

If you can make a pull request out of this, it'd be appreciated (then I don't have to search for the correct cmake file :laughing: )
