[gentoo-musl] native-clang: weekly report #12

[Lei Zhang]

Progress this week:
- submit ebuild for libcxxabi
- rewrite libcxx's ebuild to use cmake and support libcxxabi
- submit new profiles for native clang
- build a stage3 based on musl and clang/LLVM

Plan for rest of the project:
- get the ebuild for libcxxabi and new profiles accepted
- deliver a working stage3
- test Gentoo portage tree against clang

BTW, please help reviewing my PRs:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/2048
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/2049


Thanks,
Lei

When you say test the portage tree against clang, I assume you mean with
musl.  If so, you'll probably want to use the official musl overlay
because there are many tiny bugs due to GNU-isms in packages.  You're
going to get a lot of failures that are not clang+musl related.

Thanks for mentioning it. I'm already using the official musl overlay
on a daily basis :)
