[llvm-commits] [configure script] Forcing -use-mcjit option for lli

[Kaylor, Andrew]

There has been some other work to fix buildbot problems related to JIT on ARM recently.  For the most part, it has been done by introducing command line options in the test configure scripts or selectively disabling JIT-specific tests for ARM.

I think that's a better approach.

Hello Andy.

> What's the purpose of this patch?  Given that lli has a command line option to enable mcjit use, I don't understand why you would need a build option to force its use.
As I concluded after conversations in IRC and ml the JIT seems to be deprecated soon. This option allows try to use MCJIT by default on buildbots without rewriting regressions. The main purpose is to fix JIT failures on clang-native-arm-cortex-a9 buildbot. Since JIT is broken for ARM.

Thanks,
Stepan.
