I've been using CMake already with LLVM for some time. I've managed to
build most of the libraries, though there are some issues left and I
haven't tested the things I don't use. I posted about it on this list
twice already but I didn't get any response.

The latest one is here:

It has a patch attached, so you can use the code if it's useful.
