Prebuilts of Clang can be found for Linux x86_64 hosts:

|
|
|
|
Prebuilts of newer versions of Clang will be made available regularly. These
|
|
|
|
|
|
prebuilts exist only to accelerate Clang’s release cycle and contain no out of
|
|
|
|
|
|
tree patches, only reverts and cherry-picks from upstream.

Vendors looking to keep GCC from being removed may pin the revision of Android
|
|
|
|
|
|
GCC prebuilts, but should not expect Google to maintain GCC support going
|
|
|
|
|
|
forward.
