-Advice on Packaging LLVM

-
-Overview
-========
-
-LLVM sets certain default configure options to make sure our developers don't
-break things for constrained platforms.  These settings are not optimal for most
-desktop systems, and we hope that packagers (e.g., Redhat, Debian, MacPorts,
-etc.) will tweak them.  This document lists settings we suggest you tweak.
-
-LLVM's API changes with each release, so users are likely to want, for example,
-both LLVM-2.6 and LLVM-2.7 installed at the same time to support apps developed
-against each.
-
-Compile Flags
-=============
-
-LLVM runs much more quickly when it's optimized and assertions are removed.
-However, such a build is currently incompatible with users who build without
-defining ``NDEBUG``, and the lack of assertions makes it hard to debug problems
-in user code.  We recommend allowing users to install both optimized and debug
-versions of LLVM in parallel.  The following configure flags are relevant:
-
-``--disable-assertions``
-    Builds LLVM with ``NDEBUG`` defined.  Changes the LLVM ABI.  Also available
-    by setting ``DISABLE_ASSERTIONS=0|1`` in ``make``'s environment.  This
-    defaults to enabled regardless of the optimization setting, but it slows
-    things down.
-
-``--enable-debug-symbols``
-    Builds LLVM with ``-g``.  Also available by setting ``DEBUG_SYMBOLS=0|1`` in
-    ``make``'s environment.  This defaults to disabled when optimizing, so you
-    should turn it back on to let users debug their programs.
-
-``--enable-optimized``
-    (For git checkouts) Builds LLVM with ``-O2`` and, by default, turns off
-    debug symbols.  Also available by setting ``ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=0|1`` in
-    ``make``'s environment.  This defaults to enabled when not in a
-    checkout.
-
-C++ Features
-============
-
-RTTI
-    LLVM disables RTTI by default.  Add ``REQUIRES_RTTI=1`` to your environment
-    while running ``make`` to re-enable it.  This will allow users to build with
-    RTTI enabled and still inherit from LLVM classes.
-
-Shared Library
-==============
-
-Configure with ``--enable-shared`` to build
-``libLLVM-<major>.<minor>.(so|dylib)`` and link the tools against it.  This
-saves lots of binary size at the cost of some startup time.
-
-Dependencies
-============
-
-``--enable-libffi``
-    Depend on `libffi <http://sources.redhat.com/libffi/>`_ to allow the LLVM
-    interpreter to call external functions.
-
-``--with-oprofile``
-
-    Depend on `libopagent
-    <http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/doc/devel/index.html>`_ (>=version 0.9.4)
-    to let the LLVM JIT tell oprofile about function addresses and line
-    numbers.
