[cfe-dev] building LLVM/Clang on Windows 7 x64 using MinGW/MSYS

[Yaron Keren]

3GB is too close for comfort for the 32 bit linker.
G M reports success with the 64 bit toolchain so maybe it's actually
required with current versions.

Are you using the 32-bit toolchain or 64-bit toolchain of mingw-builds?
