Help needed! Test Mesa build with Clang8

Hi.

As you know due to some problems with Clang7, Mesa on x64 was recently compiled with GCC.
Usage Mesa compiled with Clang caused a black screen on old systems like AMD CPU from Athlon II / Phenom II era and some Intel too (machines without AVX instruction). More info here: https://issues.openmandriva.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2381

It seems that the upgrade of Clang to version 8 has fixed this problem.
That’s it for me. The update has fixed this. But you have to confirm it.

That’s why I am asking all people who have older equipment to test the new Mesa package.
Especially people who confirmed the occurrence of this issue earlier as: @christopher_tanner @Colin @luca

You can download test mesa release from here
Add repository:
dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/cooker/container/23628/x86_64/main/release/
and run update
dnf clean all && dnf update --nogpgcheck
