Hello, Jon

> To make it easier to use the LLVM-GCC MinGW32 binary and meet your GPL licensing requirements, could you embed the MinGW binutils binary as-is in the LLVM-GCC MinGW32 and update the LLVM docs to point to the MinGW SourceForge download site for those wanting the MinGW binutils source?
I still don't think it's good idea. binutils will add something like
10Mb to package download size.
Also, in almost all cases llvm-gcc user is mingw user as well, which
will lead to two different sets of linkers (possible) located in the
PATH...
