There's some confusion with --enable-llvm configure parameter. I've built
LLVM to a separate build dir. The source is ~ghost/Work/llvm-cvs and build
dir is /space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-cvs

I've configured LLVM with prefix=/space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-cvs/install 
and run "make install".

Now, if, when configuring frontend, I specify

  --enable-llvm=/space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-cvs

I get error because no LLVM header can be found. If I specify

  --enable-llvm=/space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-cvs/install

I get link errors like this:

   c++: /space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-cvs/install/Debug/lib/LLVMX86.o: No such
   file or directory

So, it seems like, at the same time:

1. buildir != srcdir is not supported when building frontend
2. building the frontend against installed LLVM does not work either.

I can get past the compile/link errors only after copying "include"
directory from source dir to the build dir.

Then, I'm faced with yet another problem, sorry! The problem is:

This time, I don't even understand what I'm told. Note that cc1plus is
already built by the time this error is emitted.

Can you suggest something?
