Lahwaacz, I agree completely with that assessment. Unfortunately ninja does not support any method to set flags externally. no environment vars, no config files, only commandline. In my opinion Ninja default values may fit a dedicated buildserver, but are broken for all other usecases.
Using makeflags to get ninja to behave is imo the lesser evil.

looks like a good solution, but no idea when/if that will be availalble.

When you have this package installed applications that are built against repo-llvm/clang WILL fail unless they are rebuild against this package.
This includes QTCreator, kdevelop , mesa, intel-compute-runtime, gnome-builder to name a few.

I've looked good at clang-trunk , llvm-svn, repo llvm/clang packages and think this package is now on route to become a worthy successor to llvm-svn .
llvm-libs-git holds the runtime libraries.
llvm-git
The Package now uses a new environment variable to make ninja behave, NINJAFLAGS. If you want to use it adjust the snippet below to your desired values and add it to makepkg.conf.
Incase you are satisfied with ninja defaults you don't need to do anything.
The check() function fails rather often, but I do suggest to build with them. If build fails due to test failure you can add --nocheck to skip the tests.
