The case of LLVM for prefix-rpath is similar as glibc for prefix-standalone. For the argument of overlay refer to the message below vvv >> What we are discussing in this thread, however, is prefix-standalone, it >> uses the official gentoo repository without any overlay.

I am on the toolchain alias, and I am interested in joining the project. I will be responsible to deal with all the bugs for glibc-2.16 and glibc-2.19. Bug wranglers' work load does not change. Yes, I apologize this will generate some noise for toolchain@g.o. But I anticipate people on the team are interested in receiving those emails. Cheers, Benda
