+1 for requiring such options for the same reason. The current patch disables LLVM for the enviroment where clang is installed but ccache is not, while building an extension based on postgresql-devel package. (ccache is in EPEL on RHEL/CentOS.) A bit aside from LLVM itself, I'd like CC/CPP/CLANG to fall back to them in the PATH on the running environment if they don't exist. regards. -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
