[LLVMdev] PowerPC JIT available for testing

[Chris Lattner]

Hi everyone,

This is just a note to mention that the PowerPC JIT is now operational and
begging for testing in mainline CVS.  There is one known problem (below),
but otherwise it works as well as the static PowerPC backend on the test
suite.

The known problem is that the JIT seems unable to resolve calls to
external functions that start with "__", such as __eprintf, __moddi3, etc.
This appears to be something funny in the darwin implementation of dlsym
(returning null for symbols that are valid if they start with __).  If
anyone has any ideas of how to make this work, we would love to hear them.
:)

-Chris
