Comment (by ken@…):
Nasty, very nasty, but maybe debian can fix it.
Please recall that this is llvm-3.9. In 'configure' is the following test:
{{{
case $LLVM_VERSION in
(3.[7-9]*)
msg "found ok version of LLVM: $LLVM_VERSION"
;;
(*)
err "bad LLVM version: $LLVM_VERSION, need >=3.7"
;;
esac
}}}
so this version definitely will NOT build with LLVM-4.
On my phenom, reconfiguring with the same options, then using
{{{
make VERBOSE=1 -j4 -O
}}}
it completed in about 15 SBU : not sure if the makeflags were obeyed, or
whether it just uses all cores when it can (long periods using only 1
core, probably during the linking).
It then managed a DESTDIR (I forgot to note the time) - 2.0GB source, 369
MB installed. The nasty part is that the three programs in the DESTDIR are
linked to the libs in the DESTDIR (proved with ldd and strace). Debian has
a patch for 1.15.1 that might solve this.
I then ran make check tee'd to a log : that used all cores, and ultimately
failed in a jemalloc test (there are reports that it makes assumptions
about jemalloc, I can't be bothered to care about the details). Again,
debian has a patch which might work.
From earlier testing, ISTR that building with the shipped LLVM is a lot
bigger and a lot slower.
