Remove gcc on ARM system with llvm toolchain and glibc?

[Zucca]

Code: Select all

(M2Air) livecd ~ # equery d gcc
 * These packages depend on gcc:
app-crypt/libb2-0.98.1-r3 (openmp ? >=sys-devel/gcc-4.2[openmp])

sys-libs/libcxx-18.1.8 (!libcxxabi ? >=sys-devel/gcc-4.7[cxx])

I'd like to keep llvm+glibc on this system.
But does glibc force me to keep gcc? Musl on this system would seem pretty adventurous...

But does glibc force me to keep gcc?

Yes, it does. At least at build time. Have you tried a binhost?

[Zucca]

Nah. I'd just like to avoid gcc. Binhost doesn't solve it.

I wouldn't like to try out musl on this, quite experimental, platform.
I wonder how many things would break...
