>2. LLVM itself
>We're using MSYS shell for main compilation. Also, we're using

>2.1 Switch do /build directory and configure LLVM:

>2.2. Than make it:

>   I had 1 ICE while compiling 
>/src/lib/Transforms/Scalar/InstructionCombining.cpp
>   Everything was fixed, when I lowered optimization switch to -O2 and
>   rebuild that file by hand.

>3.1.1

>3.1.2
>Much of autotools is using pwd command to extract current path.
>Unfortunately, it's in form: /drive/path, but we wants it to be:
>drive:/path. In order to do that, rename cygwin's pwd.exe located in

>the folowing content (place it also in the /bin directory):

><=cut=>
>#!/bin/sh

>cygpath -m `pwd_real`
><=cut>

>Copy that file into "my_pwd"
>3.1.3
>Start cygwin. Be sure, that no msys tools (sh.exe, make.exe, etc) is
>staying in your path.

>3.5 libstdc++ black magic
>After some time you'll see error message from ar.exe complaining, that

>You'll have error message about inline assembler in the atomicity.cc

>You might also find, that cc1 crashed compiling md5.c from libiberty.
