If you apply Adrian's patch which drops dependency on clang,
then it maybe get's bd-installable again?

It's a chain of package dependecies. If one fails, all other behind that
package fail too.

For that we need your help.
E.g. there is no plan to support clang on hppa.

That's ok.
You don't need to, unless you want to.
The ask is, that you accept correct patches if they don't hurt you.

Does it matter?
There are people who want to fix things and need your help.

Adrian contributes a LOT for all non-ports architectures.
Patches for m68k often fix other ports too.

Because some people still do care.
If it doesn't hurt you, why should you worry?
