@mgorny may be able to help with some of this and has quite a bit of experience building clang/llvm. Where I work we use a "wrapper" that helps coordinate a lot of the moving pieces.
https://github.com/pathscale/llvm-suite/ This may not be the perfect "gentoo" way to handle it, but the approach would produce a clean and correct compiler. With llvm dependencies getting more and more complicated, I'm not sure if it would be possible to have both a gnu-free and also perfect 1-project-source-repo:1-ebuild ratio. I'm sure there's llvm/clang ebuilds already and curious what others think.. On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 9:48 PM, Ian Bloss <ianlin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Woot!
