[Interest] building Qt 5.9 on Linux - clang or GCC?

[tomek]

Since you have started such a discussion I want to ask you if you have
tried to compile latest Qt releases with clang on linux?
I'm having some problems with I've described in more details on qt's forum:

https://forum.qt.io/topic/86052/qt-5-10-0-compile-with-clang-on-ubuntu-17-10

Hope you are tolerating links to qt's forum here.
To make long story short it looks like there might be some errors in build
scripts, but it's also possible I've done something wrong.
So if anybody has compiled latest release with clang please take a look
into this thread.
