<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">If the wrong things happen when you give Clang your triple, that suggests that you have the LLVM part hooked up correctly for your target but not the Clang
part. Clang, separately from LLVM, needs to know some things about your triple and pass information down to LLVM. This is partly in the Basic and partly in the Driver libraries within Clang. I've never personally added a new target so I am fuzzy on the details,
but if you start looking around in those areas you will probably get a better idea of what is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">But, perhaps you meant that you are seeing Clang taking the code you generate for your target, and then trying to assemble it as if it were code generated
for your host. That sounds like you have not implemented all the necessary pieces of Target and MC to turn the generated code into an object file for your target.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Let's try this: If you run `clang –S –target your_triple test.c` (where your_triple is the triple for your target) does it produce an assembler file (test.s)
that has the proper instructions for your target? </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#C82613">Yes</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> If not, then you have some
work to do to make that happen.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Once your assembler file looks good, if you run `clang –c –target your_triple test.s` what happens?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#C82613">For every instruction in my .s file, there is a message that says "Error: no such instruction: ...". These messages come from /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-as</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#C82613">Also note that if I do it this way in 3 steps then the machine code looks right</span><o:p></o:p></p>

directly; (2) support your target more thoroughly in Clang's 'Driver' component, so that Clang knows what to do when you specify `-fno-integrated-as`.</span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
