about the challenges that face developers trying to build the GNU C
Library with the LLVM compiler.
Is it worth it to fix glibc (and other projects which support only
GCC) to build with LLVM? Is it better to just replace them with
alternatives already supporting LLVM? Is it best to use both GCC
and LLVM, each for their respective supported projects?This post is an exploration starting from these questions but does
not attempt to give any definite answers. The intent here is to not
be divisive and controversial, but to raise awareness by describing
parts of the current status-quo and to encourage collaboration.
