Can't help you with that, but: https://bugs.gentoo.org/953517 > I started re-compilation of these two packages but ChatGPT > says that I do not need SPIRV LLVM TARGET for my > old Radeon HD 4770 video card. ... oh well, if you want to believe every ludicrous lie told by ChatGPT, go right ahead without me. > Was it so difficult to issue a news about this new LLVM target > explaining who and why needs it? We could issue 700 news articles a day about every possible commit in all of Gentoo, but *why*? It's a USE flag. The default change is more convenient for various reasons, and has little value in removing. It costs nothing other than time to recompile. Since when does that merit "STOP AND READ BEFORE UPDATING"? Feel free to skip it, for now. -- Eli Schwartz
