> 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.
