Either llvm should not depend on older libcxx, those versions should be removed, or those versions should be restored.

I think llvm works better with a matching version of libcxx. Using llvm-3.5 with libcxx-3.8 could possibly lead to compatibility issues.

I don't know why older versions of libcxx were removed in the first place. Are llvm-3.5 and llvm-3.6 planned to be removed as well?
Comment 2 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2016-09-10 08:49:44 UTC
FWIW: llvm simply segfaults if you don't have the matching libcxx on certain platforms.  It can't compile some stuff if it doesn't have the matching libcxx-headers (due to its own increased strictness, etc.)

Those versions are only for Prefix convenience, so reassigning.
Comment 4 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2021-01-06 12:54:24 UTC
these versions are no longer in the tree
