llvm dev - Apr 2021 - Official builds without libxml2 and libtinfo?

Hi,

Apologies if this is an old topic. I've been trying to get reproducible
builds working without depending on any system libraries. I'd like to use
official llvm builds for this purpose, but they seem to depend on shared
libraries for libxml2 and libtinfo.*

I believe llvm can be compiled from source without these dependencies.
Would it be possible to supply official builds that don't depend on these
libraries, even if they have fewer features? Or, is there a way to avoid
these dependencies at runtime?

thanks,
Rob

Yeah they can easily be disabled with a CMake build. But I don't think
it's feasible for release testers to build several different packages
of Clang/LLVM. If you want to have your binaries without these
dependencies I think you'll need to build it yourself, and while this
might seem daunting - it's actually not that bad if you just want a
toolchain.

Thanks,
Tobias
