For some reason this doesn't seem to be showing up in the currency check.
Announcement at [http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-
announce/2017-September/000075.html] and downloads are at
[http://releases.llvm.org/download.html#5.0.0]
I was going to say "a word to the wise", but I think "a word to the
foolish" might be more appropriate (as in "trying to build modern software
from source is foolish and will cause you pain") - firefox-56 (due later
this month) is trying to move to 'stylo' (new CSS code). That has problems
(can't use system nspr or pixman, it can't find the headers
]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1341234] - comment 10 seems
particularly appropriate), but if those are fixed, or else when stylo is
no longer optional, clang '''will''' be required for firefox (one of the
cargo files needs it).
In circumstances where stylo is enabled, LLVM-4.0.1 is fine - whether or
not LLVM-5 will work remains to be determined.
