nmake should stop. The IDE does not, although reports the number of
errors at the end.

Read http://www.llvm.org/docs/CMake.html for learning how to build LLVM
on the configuration you wish. Then, start anew. Watch the output of
nmake to see if those libraries are skipped.

That said, those libraries are new and not present on the last official
LLVM release. So, unless you are using a svn checkout, it is normal that
they are absent.
