(In reply to Dimitry Andric from comment #9)

I don't feel like hijacking the topic of this bug for discussion of x11@
policy, but I think I should clarify:

> if mesa can compile

Upstream accepts LLVM versions >= 8.0.0
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/mesa-20.2.3/meson.build#L1449-1455

For example, Arch Linux already builds against LLVM 11 (see llvm-libs version):
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mesa/

The current LLVM 10 for mesa-libs is outdated.

> Note that it says "=" not "?=" which must be for a reason. :)

x11@ favors apparent stability and the use of binary packages.

They also think that putting artificial limitations like non-overridable LLVM
version for people who build from source is a good idea, maybe because handling
possible reports is too hard. Not to mention the time and carbon footprint of
the hardcoded LLVM version.
