[LLVMdev] No crt2.o file found

[Anton Korobeynikov]

Hello, Matthew.

Use md5sum utility. It can be successfully found via google.

Strange. Seems to be some "paths problem? inside llvm-gcc. It really should find that files automatically.

They shouldn't. They actually should be in llvm-gcc/lib directory.

As of 1.9 - yes.

This isn't true, since there were no JIT codegen for dllimported
symbols.

Recently I've made several fixes to libSystem & codegen (in CVS head):

This will enable to run lli on huge amount of applications. Probably,
you have to apply them to your current 1.9 tree (+patches from
llvm-gcc4-1.9-patched) in order to enable lli for 1.9 release.
