In related matters, I noticed that parts of the stack (libclc) require/use llvm 3.9 while the main body (mesa related ports) still use llvm 3.7. I cherry picked very few changes from mesa 12.0 and 13.0 and was able to build graphics/libEGL and graphics/dri with llvm 3.9 too: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mazhe/e094ac71ae25d40d46fd49510311204e/raw/aca8404c14693a3779d618c3c920a97a7fb620fb/ports_mesa_llvm39.diff As a nvidia driver user, I guess most of mesa is shortcutted in my config, but maybe that would be of interest to other people? -- Matthieu Volat
