I'm sorry, I don't know when I have time to do more testing. But
to which degree should I rebuild with debugging? Only e17 and evas-core?
All the evas-libraries? e17 and all dependencies? (That'd be a real

Are there actually a lot of people using clang outside of the BSD
community, where dislike of the GPL and especially the GPL3 is so
widespread?
