How do you intend to build libc++?  Do you intend to build it against MSVC
as the C library?  This is certainly possible, but this isn't fully
complete yet.  Getting this work completed would be a great place to
start.  I would recommend that if you were to go down this route, you use
the latest SDK and Visual Studio (for MSVC).  They have added many missing
pieces which are needed.

Assuming that you are fine with creating a custom environment for building,
the i686-windows-itanium target assumes that you have a Linux like sysroot
setup with the C library headers in /usr/include and an appropriately named
bfd linker in /usr/bin.

There is an outstanding patch to support case insensitivity on case
sensitive file systems that Ive not had the time to give attention to.

Another aspect which matters is what architecture are you looking at?
