Comment:

 Hello Ken,

 In fact, clang-5.0 depends on llvm-5.0, llvm-5.0 depends on xar, while xar
 depends on libxml2, and thus everything does not work again.

 It can still be done with clang-11-bootstrap, but libxml2 must be
 deactivated first (I did not do this at first, and this was my error).


 The ticket can be closed as the problem has been solved (in my case).


 To avoid this situation, in perhaps makes sense to adjust the port in such
 a way that libxml2 would be deactivated forcibly and clang-11-bootstrap
 would be used forcibly.
