Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-11-22 15:18:32 UTC
On https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#amd64-advanced, we have "LLVM-based stage archives" and 2 stage3 links.

There's two problems:
1) We're not calling them out as experimental;
2) We're not explaining that they're libc++ based and hence not ABI compatible with libstdc++ (bug 944478, bug 944482)

    downloads: add warning for LLVM stages
    
    The "LLVM stages" right now are really "pure LLVM" stages which means
    they're not ABI compatible with the regular ones (which use libstdc++
    rather than libc++/libcxx) and you cannot use GCC as a fallback
    if something fails to build.
    
    This can be reworked if/when we have libstdc++-based LLVM stages (see
    bug #944482 and the related bug #944478).
