Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:33 gk]:
 > for providing mingw-w64/clang
 The project is mature enough to be self-hosted and decided to have a name
 'LLVM', and `clang` is used only as a name of one of its front-ends.
 > 4) We are omitting the `DEBUG_FLAGS` (-g -gcodeview)
 But not omitting https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-
 esr60/rev/434bde49b9c8#l3.20
 > lld patch for optionally dealing with PE header timestamp issues (by
 zeroing them out similar to ld's -Wl,--no-insert-timestamp). I'll try to
 get that one upstreamed.
 Could you also try to get upstreamed that:
 {{{
 -  if (Args.getLastArgValue(OPT_m) != "thumb2pe" &&
 -    Args.getLastArgValue(OPT_m) != "arm64pe" &&
 !Args.hasArg(OPT_dynamicbase))
 -      Add("-dynamicbase:no");
 }}}
 because it's a shame in 2019.
 > I played a bit with bumping the llvm revision to r351992 in order to get
 a proper `llvm-strip` and `llvm-objcopy` but run into a bunch of issues
 which made me pause for now (see:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1471698 for context).
 Why not use 8.x branch as Mozilla?
