The truth is that RISC-V is a supported architecture for LLVM and is capable of self hosting. If Debian is unable to build the LLVM packages (which, on Debian, are built with GCC) then that says a lot more about Debian and GCC than it does about LLVM. Saying that Debian is unable to build LLVM packages on RISC-V is very different from saying that RISC-V is not supported by LLVM and intentionally conflating the two is misleading. Since I started writing this, I have read the next mail from you in this thread and I would strongly suggest that you take a little break from the computer and come back when you can manage to engage in the discussion without being offensive.
