[LLVMdev] Changes to Debian's linker object files breaks building LLVM [crti.o, crt1.o, crtn.o]

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Seeing as GCC 4.6 works without breaking to build LLVM instead of Clang 
I think I'm going to bug the Debian proper to make it easier for 
Clang/LLVM to get the linker update changes. After all, Debian's 
breaking an awful lot of stuff lately so it seems reasonable for them to 
add this to their To Do List.
