Comment (by boklm):

 Some comments on `bug-26073-rev1`:

 6d3afa069c3904b5319b2cfd5e3f9aca45516ea7 (Use cairgo-gtk3 and provide
 libgtk-3-dev for Firefox 60 ESR)
 did you check if `libgtk2.0-dev` is still needed? If not, we could remove
 it.

 4dc04f54801b6a535a4935af10d42a939086dae5 (Use a more recent version of
 gcc)
 What is the reason for using a more recent version of gcc to build LLVM?
 If it is because of the LLVM update in the previous commit
 (61af9560529c3424e), maybe it should be merged with that commit. Or maybe
 the llvm update could be separated from the previous commit in a new
 commit named `update LLVM`
 which would also use the newer gcc in the LLVM build.

 If you take the patch from #26165 in your branch, the lines added to
 `projects/llvm/build` to use a more recent version of gcc can be replaced
 by:
 {{{
 [% pc('gcc', 'var/setup', { compiler_tarfile =>
 c('input_files_by_name/gcc') }) %]
 # We need a link to our GCC, otherwise the system cc gets used which
 points to
 # /usr/bin/gcc.
 ln -s gcc /var/tmp/dist/gcc/bin/cc
 }}}
