That's the Android changelog: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk.git/+/master/CHANGELOG.md#Clang ** PSA: Everyone should be switching to Clang....* https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk.git/+/master/CHANGELOG.md#GCC ** GCC in the NDK is now deprecated.* As you already know, Gonk is mostly based on the Android build system, so it would be good if we start thinking about what implications this change has in our codebase. I don't know if we can build B2G by using Clang based toolchains on Linux platform as a host. My understanding is that we shouldn't have many problems because we already support it for building with Mac so using Linux as host shouldn't be that different. Anyway, this kind of changes always has impact in many other ways we haven't/couldn't figured out yet, like compiler bugs affecting ABI regressions, specific bionic hacks, ... Maybe worhs a try to change the toolchain a see what happens.
