The LLVM variable allows a developer to quickly switch between the GNU and LLVM tools. However, it does not handle versioned binaries, such as the ones shipped by Debian, as LLVM=1 just defines the build variables with the unversioned binaries. There was some discussion during the review of the patch that introduces LLVM=1 around this, ultimately coming to the conclusion that developers can just add the folder that contains the unversioned binaries to their PATH, as Debian's versioned suffixed binaries are really just symlinks to the unversioned binaries in /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin: $ realpath /usr/bin/clang-14 /usr/lib/llvm-14/bin/clang $ PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-14/bin:$PATH make ... LLVM=1 However, it is simple enough to support this scheme directly in the Kbuild system by allowing the developer to specify the version suffix with LLVM=, which is shorter than the above suggestion: $ make ... LLVM=-14 It does not change the meaning of LLVM=1 (which will continue to use unversioned binaries) and it does not add too much additional complexity to the existing $(LLVM) code, while allowing developers to quickly test their series with different versions of the whole LLVM suite of tools.
