[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#923190: ghdl: Allow building against LLVM 8

[Logan Rosen]

Package: ghdl
Version: 0.35+git20181129+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Please allow building against LLVM 8 in the configure file. We've done
this in Ubuntu, and it builds successfully. We needed to make this
change because LLVM 8 is now default in our development release, and it
likely will change soon for Debian as well with the final release out
shortly.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Allow building against LLVM 8, which was recently made default in Ubuntu.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
