Some ideas

Hey! Here are some ideas...

1. I think it'd be great to include on the wiki a few examples of packages that do compile fine with Clang. That would help newbies start using it (without the risk of messing up their system).
2. Also, perhaps you could have an FAQ with questions like, "Should I file a bug if the package fails to build with Clang? If not, is there some place I should report it?"
3. Would it be kosher to post a link on this wiki to http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Llvm ?

As to your (3), yes, it is allowed to link to external resources. It would be even better to make a page in the wiki here with all relevant information. — yngwin 07:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
