+<h2>Update:</h2>
+<ul>
+  Since this document has been published, one <b>significant</b> change has been
+  made to LLVM: The GCC C front-end described in the document has been
+  completely rewritten from scratch.  The new C front-end is based on the
+  mainline GCC CVS tree (what will become GCC 3.4), and expands type-safe LLVM
+  code from the GCC AST representation, instead of from the untyped GCC RTL
+  representation.<p>
+
+  This change dramatically improved the quality of code generated and the
+  stability of the system as a whole.<p>
+</ul>
