llvm 3.7 broken in mint because upstream

Forwarding to the mailing list. Please make sure you keep discussions on
the mailing list so that others can follow and help, and find
information when searching in the future.

I'm not an expert in this area, so I can't help further, sorry. One
forum post you linked to asks "Is there anyway to impact this process?".
It's important to understand both that anyone can help, but also that
nothing is likely to happen in the timescale you want unless someone
does step up to help.

I don't really understand this 64bit/32bit thing. Even you have 64bit linux, you need 32bit libraries to get things working. I think most of the games are still 32bit (assuming, cant proof). Anyway cant play games because lacking extensions. See the other link I provided. It explains quite well what's wrong by Feral (game porter studio).
