A bit dated but I don't see why it shouldn't. However I find the lack of gcc to be a bit disturbing but that might just be me. Heck even the raspi3 here has it's own customized gcc ... 64-bit too. Mind you if it didn't there would be nothing here that could take care of it.

Hallo Maurice,

You might like to have a link to the original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer (AGC)

source code for the command and lunar modules.

https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11

Nice to hear from you again. I think we last chatted about 10 years ago, around

the time I tried to help you and Pascal with the minimalinux.org website. Though I
went by "Andy" at the time, not Andrew xD

Tschļss!

So say the LLVM people. I noticed a claim that glibc could be successfully compiled with clang, albiet with an unmentioned number of patches. I might try that and see if it is so. Also I noted your eglibc (Debian abandonware) was compiled with gcc. Given the age of your software on that target, i686 if I am not mistaken, what are the odds any of that would actually compile, especially using a clang of that vintage?

You've piqued my curiousity and I might just try this out soon so I can see for myself. I already know they don't support this target so I'll have to use something more generic. :::sigh:::

You're right. Obviously I am asleep at the keyboard.

However I am still curious about glibc, and also regular kernel source, and although I have serious doubts I may still try compiling them with clang just to see for myself.

As I said, saome distributions like OpenMandriva use and deliver clang as default compiler, so I expect both glibc and the kernel to be "compilable" using it.

I've heard different, especially about the kernel source. I'll see for myself soon enough. Have you tried and if so did you use source from kernel.org and GNU?

No, I didn't try it on Linux so far. FreeBSD completely switched already some time ago, I can confirm it works just fine there.

Hallo Gerrit!

FreeBSD completely switched already some time ago

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang;

25 February 2009 Clang/LLVM can compile a working FreeBSD kernel.
10 June 2010 Clang/LLVM becomes integral part of FreeBSD, but default compiler is still GCC.
12 May 2012 Clang/LLVM announced to replace GCC in FreeBSD.
5 November 2012 Clang becomes default compiler in FreeBSD 10.x.

I don't see any claims for a Linux kernel, nor as a default compiler on any Linux distribution. They do mention something about Debian which, given the eglibc support of days gone by, isn't really a feather in clang's cap ... if you know what I mean.

Anyhow I have built llvm with clang in the past and I suspect it is still doable but I have serious doubts about it compiling standard Linux source from kernel.org without some major hacking/patching. Also I haven't installed clang on anything here yet and it'll be awhile since I am just upgrading the raspberrypi as we speak. I guesstimate some clang kernel/glibc action sometime early next week. For me those are the two most mission critical packages and will tell the tale.

Yes, that's correct. :) I asked about "gating" ;) And then we wound up exchanging a

I reduced my screen time for a while to help manage my pain and mental health issues. It's been an ongoing struggle ever since but I did manage to get some programming done. :)

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that "completely" includes the kernel and glibc.

Hallo Gerrit!

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Clang-Kernel-2018

I had no luck with this until I upgraded to the latest git version of llvm the other day. The default master is clang-11.0.0 which managed to compile linux-5.5.2. I haven't properly compared that to the same kernel compiled by gcc-9.2.0 yet but plan to later. I am somewhat distracted upgrading to the new glibc-2.31 as shown below;

-={ '<Esc>:read !/lib/libc.so.6' starts }=-
GNU C Library (GNU libc) stable release version 2.31.

-={ '<Esc>:read !/lib/libc.so.6' ends }=-

As you can see I am booting to the glibc built by gcc and as of this writing cannot get clang to compile glibc. It (glibc-2.31 source) is currently failing to configure using clang-11.0.0 as it claims the compiler is too old. I somehow doubt that is true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMandriva_Lx

2020-02-01 -> OpenMandrivaLx.4.1-plasma.x86_64.iso
The above is the current version and the site claims to have clang-9.0.1 working as well as offereing two kernel v5 up for grabs; one compiled with gcc the other with clang. I haven't booted OpenMandrivaLx.4.1-plasma.x86_64 as of this writing and I don't see any indication of which version of glibc they are using or if indeed they are using glibc at all.

As far as my customized x86_64-pc-linux-gnu is concerned I am still behind as far as getting a llvm to work beyond compiling a kernel. As for the latest release (llvm-9.0.1) it fails to compile due to issues with glibc-2.31 and somewhat works with 2.30 although I couldn't get that version to compile a kernel, nevermind glibc any version. Beats me exactly how OpenMandriva pulled it off ... if indeed they did manage to pull it off. I'll know more once I boot OpenMandrivaLx.4.1-plasma.

Anyhow any REALLY USEFUL information you might be able to provide would be of great help. So far all I've found is hype with absolutely zero evidence to support the claim of a working clang that can successfully compile glibc ... with or without patching the crap out of it. In the meantime I am still more than content with gcc and friends so no real panic to get a llvm based linux system up and running. :-)
