Failed to build Julia-v0.5 on OSX 10.12 (Sierra)

[maxruby]

Tried to build julia-v0.5on MacOS Sierra (10.12.1), and observed the error below.
Note that I cloned fresh the julia repo and ran makewith the following Make.user file settings

#GCC >= 5 will not work
#override USECLANG=1
override BUILD_LLVM_CLANG=1
override USE_LLVM_SHLIB=1
# Optional, but recommended
override LLVM_ASSERTIONS=1
# For LLDB support also
# override BUILD_LLDB=1
# override LLDB_DISABLE_PYTHON=1

From what I recollect, this seems to be an issue with the LLVM build, which I was able to overcome last time I used it (several months ago). Its clear that the folders with the libcompiler_rt.aare missing in the julia clang_darwin folder. Any thoughts on how to overcome this issue?

I'm having this issue as well. If you are in urgent need for a solution you can set LLVM_VER=3.9 and merge JuliaLang/julia#18920 and JuliaLang/julia#18910.

I also encountered this issue. I needed to set LLVM_VER=3.9.0 and merge JuliaLang/julia#18920, JuliaLang/julia#18910, and JuliaLang/julia#19666. (macOS Sierra 10.12.2)
