[LLVMdev] Cross compile LLVM

[Justin Holewinski]

I'm assuming you mean "with" Android NDK "for" an ARM/MIPS/X86 Android
device.  Otherwise, there's no need to cross-compile.

That said, this is what I would expect the build to do.  You're
cross-compiling, so you want a version of LLVM built for a different
system.  Everything in tools/ will be built to be used on the target
system, not the host system.  If you want tools for the host system, you
can compile LLVM normally.  Tablegen will be built for the host system
because it is needed during the build process.  I'm not sure about clang,
it seems like a bug if you compile for Android/ARM and get a Linux/X86
version of clang.
