[Interest] update on building Qt/Linux with clang?

[René J.V. Bertin]

Hi,

Last time I asked the advice was still not to bother with trying to build (all of) Qt with clang on Linux. Is that still the case or is it now safe to use clang (5 or 6)?

In my experience clang generates significantly more compact binaries, which should reduce load times. Build time should be shorter too.

Thanks,
R.
