When using crossdev to install the llvm+musl toolchain for aarch64 and riscv64 (possibly others, these are the ones I've tested), I'm getting these missing symbol errors:

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __subtf3
>>> referenced by cacosl.c
>>>               obj/src/complex/cacosl.lo:(cacosl)
>>> referenced by casinl.c
>>>               obj/src/complex/casinl.lo:(casinl)
>>> referenced by catanl.c
>>>               obj/src/complex/catanl.lo:(catanl)
>>> referenced 126 more times

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __extenddftf2
>>> referenced by casinl.c
>>>               obj/src/complex/casinl.lo:(casinl)
>>> referenced by casinl.c
>>>               obj/src/complex/casinl.lo:(casinl)
>>> referenced by ccoshl.c
>>>               obj/src/complex/ccoshl.lo:(ccoshl)
>>> referenced 137 more times

[...]

The commands used to install these toolchains are:
$ crossdev --llvm --target aarch64-gentoo-linux-musl
$ crossdev --llvm --target riscv64-gentoo-linux-musl

System installed LLVM version: 17.0.1
System installed musl version: 1.2.4

I'm running the musl+clang+openrc gentoo system profile on my build machine.

Will attach the full build logs for both runs in following comments

LLVM support for crossdev is very new indeed, fwiw. I'm not super surprised there's some bugs, although I thought arm64 built fine before.

catcream: can you take a look?

Seems like an issue with compiler-rt.

Could you try manually emerging '=cross_llvm-aarch64-gentoo-linux-musl/compiler-rt-17'? This could be an issue where you've unmasked sys-libs/compiler-rt:17 (and other llvm17 things) and not cross_llvm-aarch64-gentoo-linux-musl/compiler-rt. I can take a closer look next week.

I already had '=cross_llvm-aarch64-gentoo-linux-musl/compiler-rt-17.0.1' installed on the system successfully. I re-emerged just for good measure, but the same error occurs.

I don't have any custom masking configuration on my system.
