Renato ran into the same problem of some components not working when
building on ARM and has a patch out for disabling them:
http://reviews.llvm.org/D11326

That might be a better approach actually. Since we didn't use to
include libcxx or libcxxabi in previous releases, feel free to disable
those (but please file bugs for the problems anyway). For compiler-rt,
we did include that in previous releases so it would be good if we
could make it work. What errors are you running into?

Thanks,
