Build failed (macOS) [can be fixed]

[Wallbraker]

I tried to build via the make build I'm seeing the same myself, and I have no idea what's going on. It worked in the past so it's something that has changed in rdmd. But I also haven't used the make build of Volta in a long while, instead using the battery tool.

./battery config \
    path_to_volta \
    path_to_watt
./battery build

@Wallbraker Will you fix this? Or this is an issue with rdmd?

@Wallbraker Full log, looks like nasm failed to do something:

You should to change macho64 to macho

But if replace to macho you'll got this error:

[Wallbraker]

Those are not symbols those are registers, have nasm changed the syntax?

@Wallbraker Looks like someone should update Volt to make it work again.

[Wallbraker]

What version of nasm do you have?

NOTE: I like Volt syntax and want to try it, but it looks like Volt not supported on macOS and I'll never could try it :(

@Wallbraker Done! It works if replace ld.lld with ld64.lld. You should to change it in battery.
