 Replying to [comment:4 jeremyhu@…]:
 > IMO, the real bug is with whatever is still trying to use this ancient
 relic.  There's no good reason that we should still have to keep llvm-gcc
 on life support like this.

 There absolutely is. Some ports blacklist clang, and llvm-gcc is the next
 best fallback MacPorts tries. Unless you would prefer that we remove that
 fallback and fallback to apple-gcc-4.2 instead? Yes, ideally ports would
 be fixed to compile with clang, but not everyone is proficient enough in
 C/C++ to accomplish that immediately, and often blacklisting clang is the
 simplest way to get a port to build immediately.
