Created an attachment (id=1580)
 --> (http://llvm.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=1580)
Patch that changes LLVMCreateInterpreter to actually create an interpreter even
if a JIT can be created.

When using the C bindings, llvm-c/ExecutionEngine.h:LLVMCreateInterpreter()[1]
passes 'false' as the ForceInterpreter parameter to ExecutionEngine::create,
resulting in it returning a JIT instead of an interpreter when the execution
engine is able to create a JIT.
This isn't what the name of the function suggests; especially since there are
also functions named LLVMCreateExecutionEngine and LLVMCreateJITCompiler.


[1]: Implemented in lib/ExecutionEngine/ExecutionEngineBindings.cpp
