I don't have access to hardware, so please submit a patch.

Comment 2 Dan Horák 2016-09-20 15:02:57 UTC
Could be that llvm 3.4 doesn't have enough of ppc64le support. There are newer versions of llvm packaged in Fedora in separate packages, so they could be brought into EPEL as well.

Comment 3 Tom Stellard 2017-09-02 00:11:57 UTC
ppc64le was not fully supported until LLVM 3.5: http://releases.llvm.org/3.5.1/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

Comment 4 Daniel Black 2017-11-07 05:58:51 UTC
Ack. Seems to be removed from EPEL which works for me: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/clang/overview/

Comment 5 Daniel Black 2019-03-15 00:46:12 UTC
Fixed by of old version from EPEL.
