Hi!

Mesa fails at building. It can't find the NoFramePointerElim attribute, so I found a patch that fixes it.

Thanks to: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-commit/2015-May/056714.html

Tried and working.

Reproducible: Always

The same happens with version 10.6.6.

=media-libs/mesa-11.0.0_rc2 builds fine with llvm-3.7

Yes, but since those versions are Release Candidate, I prefer not to use them. Also, there must be compatibility with older Mesa versions.

Stable releases of Mesa does not add support for new versions of LLVM, as a policy. I'd recommend using the release candidates until 11.0.0 is in the tree.

We should at least set the dependencies correctly so users don't hit this issue.

mesa-10.5 and 10.6 now depend on compatible llvm versions.
