[LLVMdev] invalid bytecode signature

[Ryan M. Lefever]

Thank you for the help.  There seem to be several things in my makefiles 
that are messed up as a result of switching from the gcc3.4 front end to 
the gcc4 frontend.  Is there any documentation listing the things that 
have changed?

Thanks,
Ryan
