Hi,

I havea minor suggestion for http://llvm.org/docs/TestingGuide.html:

Under 'Requirements', might be worth mentioning that running the basic 
llvm/clang regression tests (check-all) requires a version of bash that 
supports pipefail, i.e. bash 3.0+.  On older system where /bin/sh is too 
old, one simply needs to hack LitConfig.py to point to 
/somewhere/else/bash that meets this requirement.
(This method has been tested on powerpc-darwin8.)

Thanks!

Fang
