Chris,

I won't care much about debug information for mingw32/cygwin for now.
The reason is simple: tools uses stabs there and, even worse, all
runtime libraries are compiled with stabs. Mixing stabs & dwarf makes
tools crazy, so I'd prefer to wait, until Cygwin/Mingw32 will turn to
DWARF. AFAIK, for mingw32 it's planned for gcc 4.3. 
So, things "work in general", but not too good due to problems
independent from LLVM :)

> 3. There are some portability issues with alloca, as you noticed.
This needs to be investigated. "_alloca" is in libgcc and, in fact is
compiled from the same source for both cygwin & mingw. It should be also
exported from cygwin1.dll, but I don't know, what will be the name in
this case (Aaron, could you please investigate?)

I think we should add suitable target triple (not just mark
march=x86-64) to that test, so, it won't fail.
