|I'm interested in deleting the llvm intepreter entirely. Are you using
|it? Why?

Obviously this is just a shot in the dark, but possibly connected with

http://llvm.org/devmtg/2013-04/#talk10

?

In connection with your general question, could you elaborate on the
motivation
for wanting to delete the llvm interpreter please? I can imagine it's
obviously
some overhead to keep it fitting as llvm internals get refactored, but is it
sufficient that you think dropping that route is best? (I don't have any
plans
to make any particular use of it in the future, but it seems like it might
be
useful to have the possibility of using it when bringing up a new platform
--
with new platform specific intrinsics which it'd be harder to emulate in
compiled code.)

Cheers,
Dave
