I've experienced it too. It is problem in llvm configure/make where it does not set libdir correctly in llvm-config. Even if we change it using --libdir=/usr/lib/llvm, llvm-config --libdir still shows /usr/lib as libdir. Just change that parameter in /usr/bin/llvm-config from /usr/lib to

It may seem pedantic to you, but I wonder if you could be consistent with your naming of patches please. As an example, the source name for pygobject2 is pygobject- while you've named the patch pygobject2- As I say, you probably think this is trivial, but it actually makes a difference when
