Ratiu: A tale of two toolchains and glibc

Adrian Ratiu writeson the Collabora blogabout the challenges that face developers trying to build the GNU CLibrary with the LLVM compiler.

Is it worth it to fix glibc (and other projects which support onlyGCC) to build with LLVM? Is it better to just replace them withalternatives already supporting LLVM? Is it best to use both GCCand LLVM, each for their respective supported projects?

This post is an exploration starting from these questions but doesnot attempt to give any definite answers. The intent here is to notbe divisive and controversial, but to raise awareness by describingparts of the current status-quo and to encourage collaboration.
