    Hallo Gerrit!

    So far clang is a no-show on anything here, and the only successful compile cannot compile a linux kernel or glibc. Either it isn't ready for a pure linux-gnu or I am doing something wrong when "configuring" (cmake). gcc is still the winner and as far as licencing issues are concerned I worry more about agreements pushed by Google than ones pushed by GNU. From what I've witnessed thus far Google can keep it ... and the BSD people as well. My vote still goes with gcc and all that means licencing-wise.

    Which instructions did you follow? These? https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/wiki/Steps-for-compiling-the-kernel-w ith-Clang

    Hallo Gerrit!

    Which instructions did you follow?

    None since I first need a clang that *can* compile a kernel. The last one I built cannot due to a lack of assembly compatibilty. I tried rebuilding using 8.0.1 source, which is the latest release, but so far cannot get beyond the initial bootstrapping/configuration using cmake. Also it might be an issue with lib64. My durrent enviroments all lack a lib64 but I have gotten away with providing a temporary symlink to it for things that seem to think it is needed (eg rustc). Offhand I don't think this is the problem but haven't researched it since running into this latest glitch. If there is something you
    think might help solve this issue I am all ears.
