[llvm-commits] [release_1] CVS: llvm/docs/CFEBuildInstrs.html GettingStarted.html

[John Criswell]

Changes in directory llvm/docs:

CFEBuildInstrs.html updated: 1.3.2.1 -> 1.3.2.2
GettingStarted.html updated: 1.41.2.2 -> 1.41.2.3

---
Log message:

Added information on why someone would want to build the GCC front end.
Added a link to this information from the Getting Started Guide.
Changed the word "wicked" to "elite."  The original sounds much cooler, but
I fear the PR police when I take off my tinfoil hat.

+    <p>
+    The binary versions of the GCC front end may not suit all of your needs.
+    For example, the binary distribution may include an old version of a system
+    header file, not "fix" a header file that needs to be fixed for GCC, or it
+    may be linked with libraries not available on your system.

+    This is not for the faint of heart, so be forewarned.
