<p class="MsoNormal">As you are already aware, performing a clean build of LLVM requires considerable computing resources. This presents a barrier to entry for people who do not have access to large computers. Since the
<span lang="EN-US">buildbots already regularly compile the LLVM codebase, making tarballs of their build directories available on a public facing server will dramatically reduce the barrier to entry. Is this something that the community is willing to consider?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
