+<p>Note that the C front-end uses LLVM, but does not depend on
+  llvm-gcc.  If you encounter problems with building clang, make
+  sure you have the latest SVN version of LLVM.  LLVM contains
+  support libraries for clang that will be updated as well as
+  development on clang progresses.</p><br>
 
 <p>We will eventually integrate this better as a sub-project, but for now it builds a single tool named 'clang'.<br>
 Once llvm is built in this way, you can compile C code.
