Re: [gentoo-dev] New project: LLVM

["C Bergström" <cbergstrom@pathscale.com>]

@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.

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..
