The current llvm/clang build procedure in samples/bpf/README.rst is out of date. See below that the links are not accessible any more. $ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git Cloning into 'llvm'... fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed $ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git Cloning into 'clang'... fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/clang.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed The llvm community has adopted new ways to build the compiler. There are different ways to build llvm/clang, the Clang Getting Started page [1] has one way. As Yonghong said, it is better to just copy the build procedure in Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst to keep consistent. I verified the procedure and it is proved to be feasible, so we should update README.rst to reflect the reality. At the same time, update the related comment in Makefile.
