Hi Jeremie, hey ports@, I understand your objection and I have dealt more intensively with the install step in the llvm packege and ninja. I think I found THE SOLUTION. I have figured out how to install ONLY the extra tools. Besides, we don't have to build the whole LLVM stack. Please find attached devel/clang-tools-extra as tarball. This version was successfully tested by otto@. I'd take care of the extra tools and keep the port in sync with devel/llvm. OK, concerns? Thanks, RS
