I updated my CygWin GCC to 3.4.3 and binutils back to 2.15. Read 
CFEBuildInstr.html a couple of times. Tried building it, but got an error 
with makeinfo then a biuld error I could not do anything about.

I was able to build LLVM with no problem.

Great, thanks. It seems alot smaller than what I got when compiling from the 
CVS. There's no stdlib++v3 or libiberty, or texi documentation, in your 
version.

Maybe I should be building llvm-gcc from the downloadable release rather 
than from the CVS !

Many thanks,

Aaron
