New Patches Allow LoongArch ClangBuiltLinux Builds
![LLVM](/assets/categories/llvm.webp)
A set of patches were posted on Friday to allow the mainline Linux kernel to be built by LLVM/Clang, which the compiler itself also currently needs some LLVM/LLD patches as well. Additionally, module support and relocatable kernel builds aren't yet wired up.
In any case for those interested in Loongson's LoongArch processors and/or the "ClangBuiltLinux" initiative, the new patches are out on the kernel mailing list for this alternative to using the GCC compiler.
