[LLVMdev] Re: No Cycles In LLVM Library Dependencies

[Reid Spencer]

P.S.

This should also fix the various llvm-config issues we've had on mingw,
cygwin and other platforms. The "Can't find a library with no
dependencies" error message was caused by cyclic dependencies. Without
them, that error doesn't occur (I validated this on Linux).
