You can remove the Poolallocate directory from directories to compile in 
poolalloc/lib/Makefile to skip compiling poolalloc (you can also remove 
tools from the list of directories in poolalloc/Makefile).

As the LLVM 3.8 build machinery has changed, I'm not sure how to best 
add the DSA libraries to your dependencies.  The SAFECode Makefiles have 
special targets that copy the DSA libraries from the poolalloc 
Debug/Release directories into the SAFECode Debug/Release directories; 
the regular Makefile machinery then allows you to link in the DSA 
libraries as if they had been compiled within the SAFECode source code.

In the worst case, you can probably hack around the issue by adding -L 
and -l options to your Makefile with hard-coded paths to where the DSA 
libraries are built.  That can at least get you going until a better 
solution is found.

Sorry for the short answer, but I have to go teach class.

John Criswell
