+<p>If you are building LLVM and the C front-end under cygwin, please note that
+the LLVM and GCC makefiles do not correctly handle spaces in paths.  To deal
+with this issue, make sure that your LLVM and GCC source and build trees are 
+located in a top-level directory (like <tt>/cygdrive/c/llvm</tt> and 
+<tt>/cygdrive/c/llvm-cfrontend</tt>), not in a directory that contains a space
+(which includes your "home directory", because it lives under the "Documents 
+and Settings" directory).  We welcome patches to fix this issue.
