The short answer is: it's used when building GCC, +not for tests, so you all shouldn't need to use it. + +test/Libraries contains the LLVM "system libraries", which are linked to +programs when the linker is run with the appropriate -l switch (for +example -lm links in the "math" library). In general, these libraries are +just stubbed out libraries, because noone has had the time to do a full +glibc port to LLVM. + +Problems arise because the makefiles have a number of hardcoded paths in +it that are used to copy files around and install the libraries, which +cause problems if anyone (except for me) uses them. I'm sorry a better +system isn't in place yet for these libraries, but if you just ignore +them, they won't cause you any harm. :) + +-Chris +
