I have been unable to build either llvm-gcc-4 or llvm-gcc-4.2 on the LLVM 
2.1 prerelease 1. Sorry I dont have the time or inclination to solve either 
of these at the moment.

There are previous posts by me on this list regarding the errors.

I do intend to solve llvm-gcc-4.2 on Cygwin at some point in the future for 
GCC++ LLVM support however I cannot do this for the LLVM 2.1 release :(
