IMO, the real bug is with whatever is still trying to use this ancient relic. There's no good reason that we should still have to keep llvm-gcc on life support like this.
There absolutely is. Some ports blacklist clang, and llvm-gcc is the next best fallback MacPorts tries. Unless you would prefer that we remove that fallback and fallback to apple-gcc-4.2 instead? Yes, ideally ports would be fixed to compile with clang, but not everyone is proficient enough in C/C++ to accomplish that immediately, and often blacklisting clang is the simplest way to get a port to build immediately. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42899#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
