[LLVMdev] ARM MC .s status?

[Jason Kim]

Hi everyone, Rafael has graciously given me some pointers for helping
out on the ARM/MC .s emission infrastructure, and I am volunteering to
do so.
It looks like as of yesterday, the MC obj emitter for ARM is also
incomplete (there does not seem to be a ARMMCCodeEmitter.cpp, for
example)

So if anyone already has started looking into this, I'd like to pool
info so as to not step on toes.
Any add'l tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
