There is no circular dependency between llvm and llvm-gcc anymore. stop

scaring users.

<p>Before configuring and compiling the LLVM suite, you need to extract the LLVM
GCC front end from the binary distribution. It is used for building the
bytecode libraries later used by the GCC front end for linking programs, and its
location must be specified when the LLVM suite is configured.</p>

<p>Once the binary is uncompressed, you should add a symlink for llvm-gcc and
llvm-g++ to some directory in your path. When you configure LLVM, it will
automatically detect llvm-gcc's presence (if it is in your path) enabling its
use in llvm-test. Note that you can always build or install llvm-gcc at any
pointer after building the main LLVM repository: just reconfigure llvm and
llvm-test will pick it up.

<p>The binary versions of the GCC front end may not suit all of your needs. For
example, the binary distribution may include an old version of a system header
file, not "fix" a header file that needs to be fixed for GCC, or it may be
