[LLVMdev] Compiling glibc on Linux

[Reid Spencer]

Babak,

As its manual page (http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/html/llvmc.html)
states, llvmc is an experimental tool:

llvmc is considered an experimental LLVM tool because it has these
deficiencies:

Poor configuration support
        The support for configuring new languages, etc. is weak. There
        are many command line configurations that cannot be achieved
        with the current support. Furthermore the grammar is cumbersome
        for configuration files. Please see http://llvm.org/PR686 for
        further details.

That said, you should be able to get it to work with llvm-gcc.

Did you build llvm-gcc? Did you check the paths in the "c" config file?
Did you install the config files? 

All of these things need to be done in order for the standard config
file to work.

Reid.
