# Steps to reproduce:

# Install llvm/clang/lld 5.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial
echo "deb http://apt.llvm.org/xenial/ llvm-toolchain-xenial-5.0 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm.list
apt-key add /tmp/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key
apt-get update -q
apt-get install -qy clang-5.0 lld-5.0
export CC clang-5.0
export CXX clang++-5.0

# Try to build Firefox or Thunderbird
./mach build

We suspect that /toolkit/moz.configure isn't able to detect `llvm-config-5.0` as a valid candidate for `llvm-config` because llvm-config >= 5.0 options are missing from llvm_config_paths:

Support compiling stylo with llvm-config-5.0 or llvm-config-6.0.

Maybe it is time to have a list like:
CLANG_SUPPORTED_VERSION = [ "6.0", "5.0 ...
and use it?

Sylvestre's idea of maintaining a list of supported LLVM versions and generating (at least part of) the list from that sounds good, would you do that, please?

I would prefer the python way with:
'llvm-config-%s' % version,
> I would prefer the python way with:
> 'llvm-config-%s' % version,

Done! Thanks for your suggestion.
