This gets me further. After a bunch of "LLVM does not support aliases yet"
messsages I get this:

  checking for exception model to use... configure: error: unable to detect
  exception model

when building libobjc. When I configure with --enable-languages=c,c++, this
error is gone, so I don't care about at all.

When I run 'make install' ( even when objc is not enabled), I get this:

  make[1]: Entering directory  
  `/space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-frontend/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libobjc'
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

but again, I don't care about libobjc. When building a trivial program

  #include <iostream>

  int main()
  {
      std::cout << "hi\n";
      return 0;
  }

I get this:

$ llvm-g++ a.cpp
/space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-frontend/install/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.1/../../../libstdc++.so:undefined
reference to `A_::LTHUNK8'
/space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-frontend/install/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.1/../../../libstdc++.so:undefined
reference to `A_::LTHUNK11'
........
/space/p2/ghost/build/llvm-frontend/install/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.1/../../../libstdc++.so:undefined
reference to `std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char>
>::ignore(int)'

The c version of the same, with printf, links and works correctly.

I'm not very concerned about this error for now, but if you have a new
version for me to test, just say.

Finally, will it be possible to provide an updated snapshot of the frontend,
so that I don't have to apply several patches to get it building?

Thanks for the help,
