Hallo Rob!

 RS> I'd bet the farm that it'll out live you and me!

Speaking for myself, that ain't saying much since I am in my so-called twilight 
years.

 RS> If you're building clang from source, then yes, you'd need a
 RS> compiler to do that.

Right.  Same with gcc which I expect to be upgrading soon (9.3.0).

 RS> And I wonder why you'd want to.

A number of reasons.  Mostly it is a very good distraction for me and has 
proven itself over the decades to be good exersize for the brain.  For sure I 
am not in it for the money unless you count the money I've spent over the 
years.

 RS> Got something against gcc?

The exact opposite.  The idea of a purely clang built linux-gnu has me 
intrigued though and I'd like to see one in action, which means I'll have to 
build it myself given that nobody else appears to be able to, including 
mandriva which I believe has made misleading statements over this very issue.

Can you say otherwise and (more importantly) prove it?

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
