[LLVMdev] [libcxx] Linking against just-built libcxxabi

[Greg Fitzgerald]

On OS X 10.9.5, I can only get all libcxx tests to pass if I link
against the system libcxxabi.  If instead, I link against the
just-built libcxxabi (using Apple LLVM version 6.0 based on LLVM 3.5),
I see the following test failures:

Failing Tests (9):
    libc++ :: std/language.support/support.dynamic/new.delete/new.delete.array/new_array.pass.cpp

To link against the just-built library, I'm adding the following CMake define:

    -DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI_LIBRARY_PATH=../libcxxabi_install/lib

Am I building libcxxabi correctly?  All tests in its own test suite
pass.  Or perhaps is libcxxabi only supported for certain OS X
versions?

Thanks,
