[LLVMdev] Porting to System z

[Neale Ferguson]

Hi,
 I am beginning the porting process for Linux on System z (aka IBM
Mainframe). I thought I¹d build LLVM first with the c and cpp backends so
that tools like TableGen would be created that I¹d then use to process the
.td files that I¹ll be creating. So I used svn to grab the code from the
repository and ran configure and make. However, the build breaks at this
point:

llvm[1]: Building Intrinsics.gen.tmp from Intrinsics.td
tblgen: IntrinsicEmitter.cpp:163: void EmitTypeForValueType(std::ostream&,
llvm::MVT::SimpleValueType): Assertion `false && "Unsupported ValueType!"'
failed.

Is this a known problem? Would it be better to build the tools etc. using a
"stable" tarball and just use the svn sources so I can generate the patches
for adding System z?
