[LLVMdev] Another bad binutils?

[Duncan Sands]

Hi Samuel,

> After waiting through about 2 hours of hard drive spinning for Clang to link under my Xubuntu Lucid Lynx Linux setup on VirtualBox, ld finally just gave up trying to link it.  I was using CMake's build scripts on version 2.7 release of LLVM and Clang.  The version of ld is (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20.1-system.20100303.  Can anyone confirm this problem?  If needed I'll cross-post this to the Ubuntu forums.  Thanks for your time.

if you build without optimization then clang is huge and takes forever to link.
Try building with optimization.

Ciao,

Duncan.
