[LLVMdev] Compiling glibc on Linux

[Babak Salamat]

Reid,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Yes, I have built and installed llvm-gcc and "llvm-gcc --print-prog- 
name=cc1" return the correct path for cc1, so I assume its path is  
set correctly in the config files, but I haven't installed config  
files separately. Do I need to do that? Is there any documentation  
about it?

Thank you again,
Babak
