Configuration of mail-client/thunderbird-60.0 fails with the following error message:

> checking for llvm-config... /usr/lib/llvm/6/bin/llvm-config
> ERROR: The file /usr/lib64/llvm/6/bin/clang returned by `llvm-config --bindir` does not exist.
> clang is required to build Stylo.  Please install the necessary packages,

>                "/usr/bin/gmake -f client.mk build"

It seems that mail-client/thunderbird-60.0 and the ebuild should have a dependency on sys-devel/clang.

That it should -- clang and llvm dependencies should have been added to the v60 eclass but apparently they were not.  This will be addressed shortly.

This is now fixed.
