No, not affected by --enable-debug.

And the 'add the patch <http://reviews.llvm.org/D12834?id=34645> "add 
gcc abi_tag support'" part of the recipe is required independent of LO 
--enable-dbgutil, only the "plus a little patch..." part can presumably 
be ignored in the (implicit) --disable-dbgutil case.

(There may also be other ways how to make Clang on Fedora 23 work, like 
overriding libstdc++'s _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI setting, but I haven't 
explored that.)
