[LLVMdev] Fwd: Building VMKit

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for all your help, but if 64-bit systems are still a big problem,
perhaps the VMKit AOT compiler is not the best solution to my problem.  I'd
like to be able to support the major (if not all all) platforms that the
Avian JVM supports - x86 & x86_64 linux & windows, powerpc darwin and ARM.

Regards,
Joshua
