Provide a version of nixpkgs which is built using the LLVM toolchain. This is achieved by reusing the useLLVM attribute usable in the cross toolchain bootstrapping which is a) perfectly acceptable and b) the only way to bootstrap a LLVM stdenv across platforms without unreasonable amounts of work. This is mostly working now since we fixed some issues with llvmPackages_7.lldClang in #119717 and compile glibc with gcc at all times as of #119786 (since clang can't compile our glibc at the moment). There are seemingly some issues left to be ironed out, for example the C++ library of ncurses fails to build with a linking issue. I have attempted to alleviate that problem with #120790, but to no avail so far. Nonetheless, having a working pkgsLLVM.hello is a good start. A currently present issue is that there is no way to change the libc since there is some issue with lldClang actually picking up on the set libc. This will need investigation and fixing. |
