In config.toml, under [target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu], one can set cc and cxx to configure the C/C++ compiler used for building LLVM.

When using clang/clang++, regardless of whether use-libcxx is set under [llvm], the LLVM_LIBSTDCXX_MIN compile test fails due to a #include error.

The error happens because passing --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu to clang/clang++ changes the default header search paths. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63417#issuecomment-520510331

My system uses LLVM 8.0.0 Release. (clang version 8.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_800/final) | Target: x86_64-solus-linux)

Original Issue Text:

I am currently trying to build rust on a Solus 4 machine.

The error happens in stage 0 when building LLVM, where it complains about an incompatible version of libstdc++, even if use-libcxx = true is set under [llvm].

I would like to avoid having to setup an Ubuntu/Debian system or having to compile GCC 4.8 manually just to build Rust. Any help is appreciated

Aw shucks, I think I missed that package. Though, the value of use-libcxx didn't seem to matter, as it was setting cc/cxx to clang/clang++ on the first build (prior to setting use-libcxx) that caused the issue. So, I'm guessing Clang looks for the libc++ headers regardless if it's actually linking to it or not? Which would seem odd to me, but that might be the case. I'll give it another go tomorrow, maybe this was all a big goof on my part, in which case I'm very sorry for the confusion caused.

Also yes, as I said above I did a clean checkout earlier and compiled strictly with gcc/g++/libstdc++ and it worked fine. It's likely I fudged up with the missing header package, will try tomorrow.

My only defense is that the error message was wildly misleading in what the actual issue was. I had seen the include error but given I had a working set of headers that Clang was happy to use in test programs I wrote I marked it off as CMake being weird, not making the connection that the test failed because it didn't compile.

Just making sure, does it work when use-libcxx = true is commented out or set to false? To use libc++ on Solus you need llvm-devel package among the others.

Clang has few tricks to detect system libstdc++ and that should work just fine but CMake sometimes get confused when compilation options are changed and mixes old config with the new one.
