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

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

I just filed a bug against eglibc in Debian to address this issue and 
seeing as how FreeBSD is becoming a first class platform for Debian 
besides Linux it makes sense that Clang/LLVM gets the same treatment of 
ease of building that GCC does in Debian Proper.
