No, llvm-toolchain-11 is not fixed yet.

It makes no sense for clazy to break and old llvm, it should be rather
the other way round... but it shouldn't be needed.

Also, the version in testing is *not* broken. clazy in testing is
perfectly working, and it was the llvm-toolchain-11 upload that broke
it.

Considering nothing was actually done to fix the problems I reported
earlier in this bug, I don't think that letting the newer
llvm-toolchain-11 migrate and break also testing is an acceptable way
forward. Even more so when there was *no* attempt by the Debian LLVM
Maintainers (of which you are part) to debug what was the issue.

All this "fix" did was to apply the diff I mentioned, which was to fix
only a small part of the problems I reported. Also, reading it further,
even the shlibs of all the other libraries need to be fixed: they all
specify old versions (like 9~something) that are satisfied by any
llvm-toolchain-11 version available, including prereleases.

> Let me know if you have a solution for this issue,

The Debian LLVM Maintainers ought to help debug why updating a new
version suddently breaks software built against old versions of it.
Sorry if I seem harsh: LLVM is a key component in a modern Debian
system, so uploading new versions and providing almost no help on
problems does not seem like a good idea for the distribution.
