Comment (by cjones051073):

 Its only purpose is to provide static libraries, built with the custom
 options required for ispc. ispc requires a number of features, asserts and
 dump, that are not enabled in the main clang compilers, and which it would
 be inappropriate to do by default.

 Its called ispc-clang because ispc requires more than just the LLVM
 libraries, but the clang static libraries as well. The clang compiler part
 that comes along as well it not used, but also does no harm to the ispc
 build.

 If you think the port description does not explain this well enough,
 please feel free to improve it

 {{{
 Description:          Clang build specifically for ispc compiler. NOT TO
 BE USED IN GENERAL. This build is specifically tuned to satisfy the
                       requirements of ispc which uses it as a build
 dependency only. Has assertions and dump enabled by default, which is not
 the case
                       in the primary MacPorts LLVM/Clang builds.
