Benjamin Peterson  added the comment:

Probably that's fine, but can #31625 be easily worked around by, e.g., using 
make AR=llvm-ar RANLIB=llvm-ranlib?

Charalampos Stratakis  added the comment:

The issue with the 3.6 branch is https://bugs.python.org/issue31625 which 
hasn't been backported to 3.6. Would it make sense to backport it?

I have the backports ready locally but not sure if pushing 
https://bugs.python.org/issue31625 to 3.6 is desirable.

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

The issue has been fixed in Python 3.7 and master.

If someone is volunteer to backport it to older version, please go ahead :-) 
But according to serge-sans-paille, it's non trivial and I'm not sure that it's 
worth it. Sorry, usually we focus on the master branch for "new features".
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9908#issuecomment-433896161

So I close the issue.

Thanks serge-sans-paille for this nice enhancement!

[issue28015] configure --with-lto builds fail when CC=clang on Linux, requires gold linker

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

I confirm that it's currently broken. Test on Fedora 28, clang version 6.0.1 
(tags/RELEASE_601/final):

$ ./configure --with-pydebug CC=clang --with-lto  && make
(...)
checking for x64 gcc inline assembler... yes
checking whether float word ordering is bigendian... unknown
configure: error: 

Unknown float word ordering. You need to manually preset
ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian=no (or yes) according to your system.

serge-sans-paille  added the comment:

Looks like a package dependency issue: installing ``llvm-dev`` package should 
fix the problem. Or in that particular case ``llvm-3.8-dev``.

[issue28015] configure --with-lto builds fail when CC=clang on Linux, requires gold linker

[Gregory P. Smith]

New submission from Gregory P. Smith:

The error message you will see when building may look something like:

clang -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes  
-fprofile-instr-generate -flto Parser/acceler.o Parser/grammar1.o 
Parser/listnode.o Parser/node.o Parser/parser.o Parser/bitset.o 
Parser/metagrammar.o Parser/firstsets.o Parser/grammar.o Parser/pgen.o 
Objects/obmalloc.o Python/dynamic_annotations.o Python/mysnprintf.o 
Python/pyctype.o Parser/tokenizer_pgen.o Parser/printgrammar.o 
Parser/parsetok_pgen.o Parser/pgenmain.o -lpthread -ldl  -lutil -o Parser/pgen
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/llvm-3.8/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: error loading plugin: 
/usr/lib/llvm-3.8/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Makefile:793: recipe for target 'Parser/pgen' failed
make[2]: *** [Parser/pgen] Error 1

as seen on ubuntu 16.04.

Related to 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/llvm-toolchain-snapshot/+bug/1254970 
which suggests we also need -B/usr/lib/gold-ld in our LDFLAGS and/or CFLAGS 
when using clang on Linux with LTO.

testing with it set in both still runs into errors; someone with clang LTO 
experience will need to untangle this.

(is this related to why --with-lto doesn't work on MacOS as well?)
