   Hallo Gerrit!

   I had no luck with this until I upgraded to the latest git version of llvm the   
   other day.  The default master is clang-11.0.0 which managed to compile   
   linux-5.5.2.  I haven't properly compared that to the same kernel compiled by   
   gcc-9.2.0 yet but plan to later.  I am somewhat distracted upgrading to the   
   new glibc-2.31 as shown below;   
      
   -={ ':read !/lib/libc.so.6' starts }=-   
   GNU C Library (GNU libc) stable release version 2.31.

   As you can see I am booting to the glibc built by gcc and as of this writing   
   cannot get clang to compile glibc.  It (glibc-2.31 source) is currently   
   failing to configure using clang-11.0.0 as it claims the compiler is too old.    
   I somehow doubt that is true.

   2020-02-01 -> OpenMandrivaLx.4.1-plasma.x86_64.iso   
   The above is the current version and the site claims to have clang-9.0.1   
   working as well as offereing two kernel v5 up for grabs; one compiled with gcc   
   the other with clang.  I haven't booted OpenMandrivaLx.4.1-plasma.x86_64 as of   
   this writing and I don't see any indication of which version of glibc they are   
   using or if indeed they are using glibc at all.   
      
   As far as my customized x86_64-pc-linux-gnu is concerned I am still behind as   
   far as getting a llvm to work beyond compiling a kernel.  As for the latest   
   release (llvm-9.0.1) it fails to compile due to issues with glibc-2.31 and   
   somewhat works with 2.30 although I couldn't get that version to compile a   
   kernel, nevermind glibc any version.  Beats me exactly how OpenMandriva pulled   
   it off ... if indeed they did manage to pull it off.  I'll know more once I   
   boot OpenMandrivaLx.4.1-plasma.   
      
   Anyhow any REALLY USEFUL information you might be able to provide would be of   
   great help.  So far all I've found is hype with absolutely zero evidence to   
   support the claim of a working clang that can successfully compile glibc ...   
   with or without patching the crap out of it.  In the meantime I am still more   
   than content with gcc and friends so no real panic to get a llvm based linux   
   system up and running.  :-)
