If I recall correctly, the 2.15.94 version that comes with Cygwin is the
buggy one that doesn't assemble correctly. That's we we *reverted* back
to 2.15. I doubt anyone's tried 2.16 on cygwin with LLVM.

No, you don't. Don't specify the --with-llvmgccdir option when you
configure and when you build LLVM use "make tools-only". Everything will
be fine :)

Well, if that's true, I guess LLVM is the best one too :)
