Code generation supported for Pentium processors and up #. Code generation supported for 32-bit ABI only - #. No native code generation - #. Build is not complete: one or more tools do not link or function - #. The GCC-based C/C++ frontend does not build - #. The port is done using the MSYS shell. - #. Native code generation exists but is not complete. - #. Binutils 2.20 or later is required to build the assembler generated by LLVM properly. - #. Xcode 2.5 and gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Build 5370) will trip internal LLVM assert - messages when compiled for Release at optimization levels greater than 0 - (i.e., ``-O1`` and higher). Add ``OPTIMIZE_OPTION="-O0"`` to the build - command line if compiling for LLVM Release or bootstrapping the LLVM - toolchain. - #. For MSYS/MinGW on Windows, be sure to install the MSYS version of the perl - package, and be sure it appears in your path before any Windows-based - versions such as Strawberry Perl and ActivePerl, as these have - Windows-specifics that will cause the build to fail. #. To use LLVM modules on Win32-based system, you may configure LLVM with ``--enable-shared``. - #. To compile SPU backend, you need to add ``LDFLAGS=-Wl,--stack,16777216`` to - configure. #. MCJIT not working well pre-v7, old JIT engine not supported any more. Note that you will need about 1-3 GB of space for a full LLVM build in Debug
