The musl+llvm Diaries, Part One: Introduction

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

If you’ve spent enough time interacting with the Gentoo community, you’ve probably at least heard of musl or LLVM. I often see relative newcomers to Gentoo asking things like “Should I use musl?” or “Should I use LLVM?” or (god forbid) even “Should I use musl+llvm?”. There’s a lot of misinformation about this topic, so I’ve decided to start a new series of blog posts to better inform people on the topic of using musl, LLVM, or the combination of the two with Gentoo. It should also serve as a sort of devlog for people interested in the technical elements of making fixes for these alternative platforms.
