New Revision: 65432

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=65432&view=rev
Log:
Headers are basically done, debug info is just about done (and 
will improve a lot this week hopefully), and a libgcc replacement
is ready once I wrangle lawyers.

 <li><b>Improve target support</b>: The current target interfaces are heavily
