Yes, that's right. Support for optimized compiling for N1 starts with gcc-9.2.0 and clang-10, which are not available in Ubuntu-18.04 yet. > > If yes, can we just add clang-10 from: https://apt.llvm.org to vpp build > scripts? > Currently clang-10/clang-11 Aarch64 packages are not available at apt.llvm.org yet. Arm compiler team is working on getting AArch64 packages available at apt.llvm.org.
