Compiler-generated eq/ne methods on primitives inherit their source position from the members AST node, which points into a user-defined method's name. The hint visitor processed them as real methods, producing spurious receiver cap and return type hints.
ponyc statically links LLVM and never uses LLVM's plugin (loadable
module) infrastructure. LLVM defaults LLVM_ENABLE_PLUGINS to whatever
LLVM_ENABLE_PIC is on non-Windows platforms; PR #5263 enabled PIC on
non-Darwin platforms to fix Fedora's PIE-default linking, which had
the side effect of also enabling plugins on OpenBSD.
With plugins enabled, LLVM stops skipping the Bye example pass plugin
("Bye ignored -- Loadable modules not supported on this platform").
The Bye target's CMakeLists declares only `DEPENDS intrinsics_gen`,
so it compiles before tablegen has generated llvm/CodeGen/GenVT.inc.
The local include path falls through; on OpenBSD the base system
ships LLVM headers in /usr/include/llvm/, where an older GenVT.inc
defines GET_VT_ATTR with 9 parameters. The vendored LLVM 21 header
expects 12, producing a cascade of "too few arguments" /
"missing ',' between enumerators" errors.
Set LLVM_ENABLE_PLUGINS=OFF explicitly. PIC stays enabled on
non-Darwin so Fedora linking continues to work.
