D005 - Freestanding C, clang only, no vendor SDK

assumed · 2026-08-19

-ffreestanding -nostdlib, target triple x86_64-unknown-freebsd, no libc, no SDK headers. Imports are ordinary undefined symbols the loader resolves.

Three things fall out of it. Provenance stays clean - nothing here derives from vendor headers. The import list in the finished object is an accurate statement of what the program needs, because nothing was linked in that a console would not already provide. And the build needs one tool that anybody already has.

memcpy and memset are defined by hand: the compiler emits calls to them regardless of -ffreestanding, and without definitions the link fails naming a function nothing in the source calls.
