Ah. I'll change my USE flag straight away.
Thanks Walter.
This got me wondering, here I don't have clang in my make.config. The
main packages using it are:
[I] www-client/firefox
Installed versions: 123.0.1(rapid)(21:16:32 03/06/24)(X clang ...
[I] mail-client/thunderbird
Installed versions: 115.8.1(21:14:19 03/07/24)(X clang ...
[I] app-office/libreoffice
Installed versions: 7.6.5.2^t(21:42:53 03/06/24)(... -clang ...
libreoffice sees it unset because it is not present in the global uses.
firefox and thunderbird instead set it in the ebuild:
$ grep clang /var/db/repos/gentoo/www-client/firefox/firefox-123.0.ebuild
IUSE="+clang cpu_flags_arm_neon dbus debug eme-free hardened hwaccel"
$ grep clang
/var/db/repos/gentoo/mail-client/thunderbird/thunderbird-115.8.1.ebuild
IUSE="+clang cpu_flags_arm_neon dbus debug eme-free hardened hwaccel"
Both packages have no issues here with +clang. Given the warning message
reported by Peter ("Enable USE=clang unless you have a very good reason
not to.") and the fact that gentoo developers decided to switch it on
specifically for these packages it would probably be a better idea to
file a bugzilla rather than forcing the use of GCC, which might fix the
issue now but lead to problems later. As usual, YMMV.
