llvm dev - Aug 2018 - -debugger-tune=gdb compilation fail

I've recently started running into problems with a port that passes option
"-plugin-opt=-debugger-tune=gdb" to the linker which cause compilation
to
fail, as you can see from this error below:

  Run Build Command:"/usr/local/bin/gmake" "cmTC_799f7/fast"

I saw this issue that was abandoned.

Has this issue moved forward, is there any ways to get around this issue
when linking?

Best,
