[LLVMdev] how to build eglibc using llvm-gcc without unsupported -fno-toplevel-reorder

[Sergey Yakoushkin]

Hi,

llvm doesn't support -fno-toplevel-reorder option which affects
glibc/eglibc for some targets.

highly expected and is not going to deprecate.

Are there any reasons why option can't be supported by llvm?
