Ok, I'll go on with LibcxxOnOlderSystems. About the step:
5. Disable the variants corresponding to the bootstrap versions of llvm in
/opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf. This ensures that future installs of
cctools and ld64 will use a newer version of llvm:
-llvm34
+llvm39 # You may need to update this to +llvm40 and higher in the future
is llvm39 still the one to be used? Or we are already in the future and a
higher version should be indicated, possibly also in other steps of that
document?
