Okay, I'll integrate some variant of these changes into my tree.

As you mention, x86-64 isn't supported right now.  It's highly likely that 
work will be starting soon on it, but until then, I'd suggest sticking 
with 32-bit X86.  If you configure llvm-gcc with 
--host=i686-unknown-linux-gnu --target=i686-unknown-linux-gnu (going from 
memory, may be wrong), you should get a 32-bit compiler that does what you 
want.

Interesting.  Since you're using the 32-bit backend, this is a bug in the 
32-bit backend, even if it's being misused.  Can you copy and paste the 
above command, adding "-emit-llvm -o x.bc" to the end?  Once you do that, 
running 'llc x.bc -march=x86' should cause the same assertion.  If so, 
please file a bug report in bugzilla and we'll get it fixed.

Thanks,

-Chris
