That still sounds like the most sane way to go; provided those problems are/would be fixed, I hope for that switch to happen again one day. (I somewhat doubt that "slower" was noticeable enough to worry about.) > The best solution to cut rebuild time for LLVM is ccache. Indeed, ccache helps greatly. Now that I've managed to cut down package times as well, situation with LLVM ports no longer looks as bad as I originally saw it; thank you. ./danfe
