Hi Ken,
I have not been following this thread, but seeing this email,
I thought I'd give it a try, and eventually succeed.
Prior to this build, the environment did not have an older version of
rust or cargo installed. The environment was based on LFS-8.0 and not dev.
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/rustc-1.19.0 \
--release-channel=stable \
--llvm-root=/usr \
--enable-llvm-link-shared
./x.py build
./x.py install
llvm version was 4.0.1
If you like, I can post you my logs. Where is it breaking for you?
Regards,
Wayne.
