Comment (by kencu):

 In the meantime, if you did want to use one of the newer clang versions to
 build something, you can use it manually using {{{sudo port select}}} to
 select the version of clang you would like to use.  As you probably know,
 {{{port select --list clang}}}  will give you a list of the available
 options.

 Then to use that version of clang to build a certain port you would force
 it manually on the command line like this:
 {{{
 sudo port -v install MyFavouritePort configure.compiler=macports-clang
 }}}

 I am not sure if there's any way that that mechanism can be used with the
 openmpi ports, though.

 This isn't really an error in the clang port, and there's nothing about
 {{{clang-10}}} that needs to be fixed, but I guess we'll leave this ticket
 open in case somebody else stumbles across it, pending a new base being
 released.

 Besides it makes me feel better to see tickets attached to ports that I am
 working with when I log into the system. Sense of belonging and all that.
