we can't do that unless we stop shipping GCC 13, or reverting the
removal of the gcn* targets in LLVM 18. So probably you should start
working on getting these targets back into LLVM 18 or LLVM 19.
I don't see in the changelog for llvm 18 or 19 that the targets were
removed, so perhaps the removal was unintentional? Sylvestre, can those
be added back, so that amdgcn-tools can move to a newer llvm? This is
one of the last blockers for the removal of llvm-toolchain-17 from trixie.
why is the removal required? There are no known security issues reported
(checked with the security team), and after an odyssey of the release
team blocking both llvm-18 and llvm-19 from testing for a long time, not
encouraging migration to newer LLVM versions, I don't see any necessity
to drop LLVM 17. If you want to drop one more version, please consider
dropping 18 instead.
