I don't think so but I don't know. Upstream the package is called compiler-rt. AFAICT it's really for the C/C++ front end as its job is mostly to support "sanitizers" for C/C++ semantics, and indeed in Guix it's used by the clang (cfe) package and not by the llvm package. Happy to change names of course, but it seems to me that clang-runtime is the better name, and given that upstream doesn't give us a usable name I think we're free to choose whatever we like. Cheers, Andy
