[llvm-dev] Simple program fails to compile depending on target os

[Moritz Angermann via llvm-dev]

Thanks!

I also found test/CodeGen/ARM/ghc-tcreturn-lowered.ll, which tests only for thumbv7-eabi,
so, i tried a few more variations:

[x] arm64-apple-ios
[x] arm64-apple-ios7.0.0
[x] arm64-apple-darwin
[x] armv7-apple
[x] thumbv7-apple
[x] thumbv7-apple-darwin
[x] i386-apple-ios
[x] i386-apple-darwin

[f] thumbv7-apple-ios
[f] thumbv7-apple-ios7.0.0
[f] armv7-apple-ios

I’ve also just build a HEAD version (LLVM version 3.9.0svn), and the code in fact *does*
compile with 3.9.0svn.

Cheers,
 Moritz
