Ubuntu needs upgrade patch every six months. My question is: does exist another way in which ToolChains.cpp should be "written" or "conceived" in order to simplify this process? In this discussion Anders Kaseorg explains the problem very well: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2011-June/015545.html Best regards, Leo.

The specific complaints mentioned there have been fixed (if not in the exact way proposed). What is actually causing problems? Do you actually need to patch Clang today? For reference, I have tested the current 3.0 release candidate on both Debian and Ubuntu without *any* patches applied and I believe it found the correct GCC installation and headers.
