[LLVMdev] lli supports different targets than llc?

[Débora Setton Sanches]

But I am running it on the host, as a kind of intermediate step in the
cross-compilation, just to check if everything still works after the
frontend step. Shouldn't it work then? I don't know much about how
everything works yet, sorry if it's a silly question.

What I thought was also weird is that the exact same example works if I use
the OpenMP/Clang fork (https://clang-omp.github.io/), which I assumed would
support, if anything, *less* targets, since it's a little behind (LLVM 3.5).
