[llvm-dev] compiler-rt only builds x86 sanitizers by default

[Chris Bieneman via llvm-dev]

This is a complicated problem, and it doesn’t have an easy solution.

The problem is CMake generally assumes that you’re building for one target at a time, which is a safe assumption for most projects, but doesn’t work great when you’re building a cross-compiler. The correct solution to this will be to extend the LLVM_BUILD_EXTERNAL_COMPILER_RT option to take a list of target specifiers (or triples) and configure and build compiler-rt n times.

I have plans to work on that support sometime hopefully in the next few months. Overhauling the LLVM_BUILD_EXTERNAL_COMPILER_RT option is basically the next logical step after I finish my work on the builtin libraries (See: http://reviews.llvm.org/D16653).
