never, like, count out Touchdown Tom, man
how long before the embedded world gets first class cortex m-4 and subsequent support for building from llvm. also how long until i can stop having to loving compile cross compilers. these questions are probably linked

The Management posted:

if by first class you mean broken every other day then m4 is fully supported.

what's the alternative to compiling cross compilers? you just want to download a binary that builds for EVERYTHING?

yeah, exactly, or at least some of the more popular targets: native and arm. clang can do it pretty well like rjmccall set because clang is already separate from llvm: the different thing you need is the llvm side that emits arm code instead of x86 or whatever.

the thing that honestly makes this an unrealistic whine instead of a real complaint is that arm-gcc-embedded is actually maintained by arm employees; but still, i (and i think a lot of other people, there are of course some politics in an email thread i can't be bothered to search for) really wish gcc had as clean a separation of frontend and back end as clang/llvm so you wouldn't have to recompile the goddamn binary every goddamn time.
