John,
           I now try to use only CMake.  The last time I tried using
"configure" (for gnu-binutils) I had such a hard time reading  
diagnostics
and error messages that I ended up adding some new debugging output to
"g-make" just to figure out what was going wrong. ARGH. I started  
running
into problems using configure with llvm and clang and switched to CMake
and didn't have any problems.  Please do a CMake for SAFECode (and if
possible keep and publish a log of what you had to do, Oscar has done a
good start at writing something up about CMake for llvm, but additional
info will be welcome, and very much appreciated).


sincerely,
Peter Lawrence.
