2016-03-10Update to clang-3.8.0. Split out llvm tools to lang/llvm.tnn1-0/+22
Packaged in pkgsrc-wip by myself and Kamil. Remove stale pkgsrc/SunOS bread crumbs that were difficult to merge following the build framework switch. Needs to be redone. (Sorry!) Summary of significant changes in LLVM: - switch build framework from autoconf to CMake - llvm-ar now supports thin archives. - llvm doesn t produce .data.rel.ro.local or .data.rel sections anymore. - opional support for linking clang and the LLVM tools with a single libLLVM shared library pkgsrc note: we have this library in lang/libLLVM, but we don't currently use it. We may do so in the future if/when the API matures. - The optimization to move the prologue and epilogue of functions in colder code path (shrink-wrapping) is now enabled by default - new target-independent gcc-compatible emulated Thread Local Storage mode - various target specific optimizations Summary of significant changes in Clang: - new compiler flags for tuning what DWARF information is included - better strict alignment handling - better support for __builtin_object_size
