[Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel 2020-03-23 21:08:05 UTC]

OK we should probably wait for llvm-10 release before rekeywording glibc-2.31

[Comment 3 Andreas K. Hüttel 2020-04-23 10:04:35 UTC]

This is fixed in llvm-10, which is now in the tree

[Comment 4 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2020-04-23 21:46:36 UTC]

I think that LLVM maintainers wanted to backport fix to new revision of at least sys-devel/llvm 9.0.1 (and less likely 7.1.0 and 8.0.1).

How does this bug manifest itself? I was able to recompile llvm-9 with glibc-2.31-r6 today.

Created attachment 655054 [details, diff]
layman backport from llvm-10.x branch

I did a silly little backport myself. I can test it, but need to know how to reproduce first.
