clang fails to build kate with fatal error: 'stddef.h' file not found

take kate from the saucy archive, when building it with clang:

I should not write mails while being tired sundays...

I meant: It works fine with clang-3.3, only clang-3.2 doesn't work

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

After upgrading to 13.10 Saucy today, I am now affected by this bug in clang-3.2 as well. Installing clang-3.3 fixes the issue.

In case this isn't clear from the above bug report, trying to build the simple program below with clang or clang++ will fail because both standard libraries are missing.

#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

int main(void)
{
  return 0;
}

Hi, I'm bitten by this too on 13.10

going for a temporary workaround, looks like more files are missing:

cd /usr/include
ln -s ../lib/llvm-3.2/lib/clang/3.2/include/stddef.h .
ln -s ../lib/llvm-3.2/lib/clang/3.2/include/stdarg.h .
ln -s ../lib/llvm-3.2/lib/clang/3.2/include/stdbool.h .

seems to make clang work again for me
