[PATCH] MINGW64 Driver, TLS and SEH exception

[Martell Malone]

Hi Reid,

TLS works for me with clang and the mingw64 headers to I assume that it is
ready within LLVM.
I have just submitted a patch to llvm maillist from kai of redstar.de for
the seh that I updated to work on llvm-head.

With regard to the _WIN32 ifdefs a sysroot mingw32 compiler should never be
generated on windows because that is the native platform.
We have all switched from doing that over at the mingw64 camp.

In the patch I have removed the Generic_GCC toolchain and replaced it with
the MINGW Driver.

         // FIXME: We need a MinGW toolchain.  Use the default Generic_GCC

+        TC = new toolchains::MinGW(*this, Target, Args);

Many Thanks
Martell
