My Raspberry Pi 4 with 64-bit Gentoo Linux has LLVM/clang 10 installed, but for whatever reason, Qt Creator 4.13.0 didn't want to compile on my machine because it couldn't find a number of clangXXXX libraries. I ended up commenting out all clang related crap inside the following project files to get it to compile:

src/libs/libs.pro
remove all references to clangsupport

src/tools/tools.pro
remove all references to clang, clangpchmanager, clangrefactoring, clangbackend

src/plugins/plugins.pro
remove all references to clang*

After qmake, make, and make install, Qt Creator crashed with a segmentation fault due to missing themes. I had to manually copy the themes folder from the source to the installation. Now it finally runs.

The "Select Symbol" drop down menu populates much faster now, which is a big improvement.
