[llvm-dev] "llc -march wasm64" always fail.

[Thomas Lively via llvm-dev]

Hi,

wasm64 is not supported in LLVM or anywhere else. It has not even been
specified yet. The clang frontend's wasm64 triple dates back to when
WebAssembly was an experimental target and hasn't been removed because we
expect that wasm64 will eventually exist. I have patch up that adds a clear
error when wasm64 is used for now. I will go back and finish that up.
