Can anyone please help review and merge? Thank you! https://github.com/brltty/brltty/pull/353

I saw the PR and am not accepting it. It reverts back to using a single- (rather than a cross-) platform paradigm, and also assumes that certain environment variables are alraedy set within the build environment. Perhaps someone could explain what the actual problem is so that a proper resolution can be implemented.

Sorry I missed this e-mail. I tried to provide more context in the Github pull request. Can we please continue the discussion there?

In a nutshell Samuel's observation is correct, we need to be able to use LLVM tools instead of ld or CROSS_PREFIXed which are GNU tools.

This has been a silent problem (mixed GNU/LLVM toolchain usage) for many years in ChromiumOS and Gentoo and we'd like to start using consistent toolchain usage to discourage silently mixing GNU & LLVM.

Hope it makes more sense now,
Adrian
