The question at hand is not about LLVM, or GCC.  It is whether to
install support for something called LLDB.  What exactly is LLDB?

>From its name, I guess that LLDB is a noncopylefted debugger and that
some might intend it to replace GDB.  But I don't know if that is so.

Depending on the answers to this questions, and others I don't know
enough to ask yet, it might be good or bad to install this patch.

I know enough to think that bigger things MAY be at stake here.  I
don't know enough to determine whether that is really so, or what
importance they have.  I want to find out.

Does anyone here know enough about LLDB to answer my questions?
