[LLVMdev] GCC assembler rejects native code generated by LLVM

[Jeff Cohen]

I'm confused.  My understanding is that Visual C++ Express does not 
include Visual Studio, which is required to build LLVM.  Anyway, 
assembly code generation is not yet supported using the Microsoft tool 
chain (as documented in the Getting Started with VS page), and when it 
is it will be with NASMW and not GCC.  Not that any of this explains the 
"junk at the end of line" you got.
