Extended Description

I noticed this while trying to compile libpng. This still worked until a few days ago.

#include <limits.h>

int main() {
return 0;
}

/usr/include/limits.h:124:16: fatal error: 'limits.h' file not found

I have the same problem. I found more info on this when running verbose mode:

I suspect this message is essential:

ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/bin/../lib/clang/3.5.0/include"

there's no '3.5.0' dir inside 'lib/clang', but '3.5'.

Because of the above, I got also problems when compiling with the sanitizers:

$ echo 'int main() { return 0; }' | clang -xc -fsanitize=address -
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/bin/../lib/clang/3.5.0/lib/linux/libclang_rt.asan-x86_64.a: No such file or directory

This was related to the upstream renaming of some directories.
That is fixed in the VCS. I forced the rebuild on the building system:
http://llvm-jenkins.debian.net/

(it is going to take a while).

[llvmbot]

It seems to work for me with the svn203909-1~exp1 build.

[llvmbot]

confirmed

Thanks.
